Litro Rosso is a 1-liter, everyday red from Conestabile della Staffa, made from Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo grown on calcareous clay and tufa soils at 250–350 meters above sea level in the Trasimeno-Perugino subzone of Umbria. The vineyards sit just outside the hilltop hamlet of Monte Melino, in the province of Perugia, with Lake Trasimeno providing a moderating microclimate that keeps acidity fresh even in warm vintages.
Winemaker Danilo Marcucci uses spontaneous fermentation in open-top tanks with 4 to 6 days of skin maceration, no temperature control, and aging in fiberglass tanks. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with no added sulfites, under a crown cap in a clear glass liter bottle. The process is as minimal as the format is unpretentious.
On the palate, expect crunchy cherry and red berry fruit with roasted pepper, a touch of earth, and a hint of tobacco on the back end. It drinks lightly, with enough structure to hold up to food but enough freshness to pour cold on a Tuesday. This is a textbook glou-glou red built for the table, not the cellar.
