San Giovenale winery was created by Emanuele Pangrazi – Roman by origin and passionate about his territory and the wine. Together with a famous enologist Marco Casolanetti (who created Kurni ‘Oasi degli angeli’) he decided to plant vineyards in Blera area nearby Viterbo.
The vineyards he chose to plant are international grape varieties Carignan, Syrah, Cabernet and Tempranillo, planted with an extreme density of 10 000 – 13 000 vines per hectare, that forces the vines to go very deep in the soil and to fight hard to produce a bunch of grapes. Usually every vine generates only one kilogram of wine (one-two bunches).
The philosophy of the owner and the winery is to take care of the territory and to produce wine of quality rather than quantity. The winery is certified organic and is utilising geothermal energy.
HABEMUS Etichetta Bianca is the first wine created by San Giovenale, always with a very limited annual production of 10,000 bottles and consistently winning most important awards (Tre Bicchierti Gambero Rosso and Top 10 wines in Gentleman magazine).
San Giovenale now also produced small quantities of HABEMUS Etichetta Rosso (Cabernet Franc) and HABEMUS Etichetta Oro (Roussanne – Marsanne).
