Unlitro is Ampeleia's entry-point wine, sourced from their youngest vineyards in the lower zones of the estate near the Tuscan coast, around Roccatederighi in the Alta Maremma. The blend is led by Alicante Nero (the local biotype of Grenache), with Carignano, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese, and Alicante Bouschet. Vines grow at 250-300 meters above sea level in the Colline Metallifere, mineral-rich hills that form part of a UNESCO Global Geopark.
Each variety is harvested and vinified separately. A portion of the fruit (around 10%) undergoes carbonic maceration, while the rest is fermented whole-berry or crushed. Macerations last 5-7 days, and the finished wine ages six months in cement tanks with no oak contact. The wine is unfined, unfiltered, and made with native yeast. Sulfite use is restrained.
The result is a bright ruby red with a fragrant, fruit-forward nose of red cherries, wildflowers, and gentle balsamic lift. On the palate it is lightweight and juicy, with soft tannins and enough acidity to keep it lively. At 12% ABV it is the kind of wine that works slightly chilled and drinks easily across a meal. The liter format is by design: Ampeleia named it for what it is.
