| Description |
A historic grape variety of the Macerata area such as Malvasia, native and cultivated here even before Verdicchio, and a name that recalls the threshing of times gone by, the straw and the toil in the fields.
This is IL COVONE, deeply rooted in the origins of the Lebboroni family, as is the 70-year-old vineyard from which it is produced, where all the processes are carried out strictly by hand.
