Description
Sergio and Thea were revolutionaries. A revolution that began in the vineyard (one of the first to plant with high density per hectare and experiment with non-traditional vines and one of the first Italian wineries to make the move to organic viticulture) to continue in the cellars. Vittorio and David, their sons, continued the life's work after the death of their mother in 1989. Important collaborations were established with the best Italian oenologists: a young Francesco Spagnolli in the early eighties, then Vittorio Fiore to Donato Lanati, whose teachings were fundamental to Vittorio's growth. After that Tre Monti has experienced a serious growth and is considered one of the top companies of the Romagna region and this is also endorsed by the press and they were the first to receive the "three glasses" in Gamberro Rosso in 1997) followed by many high ratings (Thea 2008 was one of the first Sangiovese di Romagna to receive 90/100 from Wine Spectator, Thea Passito, even 94/100 by Wine Enthusiast.
The Imola estate, where the winery is located, is situated in the beautiful area of the "Tre Monti" (Three Mountains), on the first hills of Imola, at an altitude of about 100 meters above sea level. The Orange Wine is made 100% Albana - organically grown coming from the Vigna Bacchilega vineyard located on the Imola Estate which was planted in 1980
This is a so-called Orange wine and that means nothing more or less that it is a white wine made from white grapes, but of which the skins ripen along with it and with this wine the skin contact has been no less than 95 days in a Georgian amphora (Kvevri). The nice thing about an Orange Wine like this is that you can taste many characteristics of red wine in this orange wine. The color of this "Orange" wine is deep and light orange. The smell is quiet and yet very complex, with notes of very ripe fruit, candied peel, honey and marzipan. In the lush taste surprisingly much juice with a very rich aftertaste in which one encounters a lot of ripe stone fruit.

1. Roasted pumpkin with sage and parmesan
The sweetness of the pumpkin complements the ripe fruit in the wine, while sage and parmesan add extra savoriness and complexity that pairs well with the light tannins and spicy notes.
2. Chicken stew with fennel, orange and olives
The combination of citrus, anise and saltiness brings out different layers in the wine. The structure of the chicken makes it filling without being heavy, matching the firm body of the wine.
3. Risotto with saffron, leek and white truffle oil
The creamy texture of risotto combines with the amphora structure of the wine. Saffron and truffle oil accentuate the earthy and spicy character, while leek provides a fresh counterbalance.
4. Tagliatelle with chestnut mushrooms and sage butter
The umami of the mushrooms goes well with the ripe notes of the wine. The structure of fresh pasta and the buttery sauce match the wine texture, while the sage underlines the spicy aspect.
5. Grilled cauliflower with tahini, lemon and toasted almonds
The nutty flavours of tahini and almond enhance the amphora maturation. Lemon provides freshness, and cauliflower provides a soft, toasted base that blends well with the rich style of the wine.
6. Veal sweetbreads with carrot cream and orange zest
The creamy structure of sweetbreads calls for a wine with tension and grip, which this Albana offers. The carrot cream and orange zest bring a sweet-fresh element that increases the complexity of the whole.

Sometimes some "life choices" occur in a non-traditional way, perhaps with the belief that they are guided by emotions and feelings when, more or less unconsciously, someone obeys something else. So it was when Thea and Sergio Navacchia set out on this adventure in the early 1970s. Sergio and Thea, in their own way, were revolutionaries. A revolution that started in the vineyard (one of the first with a high planting density per hectare and experimenting with non-traditional vines) to continue in the cellars. Vittorio and David, their sons, continued the life's work after the death of their mother in 1989. Important collaborations were established with the best Italian oenologists: a young Francesco Spagnolli in the early 1980s, then Vittorio Fiore to Donato Lanati, whose teachings were fundamentally were for Vittorio's growth. After that, Tre Monti has experienced serious growth and is recognized as one of the top companies in the Romagna region and this is also endorsed by the press, being the first to receive the "three glasses" in Gamberro Rosso in 1997) followed by many high ratings ( The 2008 Thea was one of the first Sangiovese di Romagna to receive 90/100 from Wine Spectator, Thea Passito, even 94/100 from Wine Enthusiast.
The wine company has made the full step as one of the first to fully organic production and all wines have therefore been certified organic for years. The Tere Monte winery consists of two different estates, one on the hills of Imola, the other between Castrocaro and Predappio. The total area covers about 50 hectares, all planted with vines. As is also known from Burgundy, for example, all areas have been grouped into plots and even within the same plot a large number of compositions have been brought to light, resulting in a further subdivision into micro zones. The detailed knowledge of the soils has made it possible to plant varieties, each with its own specificity. The results are palpable in quality and richness and in the diversity of the grapes obtained.
The Imola estate, which also houses the winery, is located in the beautiful area of the "Tre Monti" (Three Mountains), on the first hills of Imola, at an altitude of about 100 meters above sea level. The total area is about 26 hectares, entirely cultivated as a vineyard. The location of the vineyard is south-southeast. The soil is mainly clay-loam and very compact. The examination of the soil confirmed what had become clear from years of experience: in fact, the specific position of Imola plots and their composition show that they are particularly suitable for white grapes. The Petrignone estate, which covers about 28 hectares, is beautifully situated on the hills of Forlì, between Castrocaro and Predappio. It is an atmospheric terrace on the Adriatic plain, at an altitude of about 150 meters above sea level. The vineyards are all south facing. The soil is clayey with the presence of pebbles. In fact, it is a real microcosm in which there are different types of soil.
