WOW! 2026: Silver Medal for Condivio
An important award comes from WOW! The Italian Wine Competition 2026, the wine competition run by the Italian magazine Civiltà del bere and dedicated to Italian wines. After four medals at the 2025 edition, this year our Condivio – Offida DOCG Pecorino 2021 stands out with a Silver Medal.
It is an award that means a lot to us, because it speaks of the deep bond between a wine and the land it comes from. The WOW! judges assess every wine for its typicity too: how well it expresses its area of origin.
Condivio, our Pecorino born in Ripatransone
Condivio is made from 100% Pecorino, a native white grape of southern Marche, grown in Ripatransone. The grapes are carefully selected and hand-picked in the second half of September. It is the only white wine in our 508 Collection to mature in wood: it is partly fermented in tonneaux and rests on its lees for 6 to 8 months. In the glass it is straw yellow, with intense aromas of ripe fruit and a full, persistent palate with subtle hints of vanilla.
Its name pays tribute to Ascanio Condivi, the Renaissance painter, pupil and biographer of Michelangelo, who was born in Ripatransone. Every year, on the Sunday after Easter, the town gathers in the square named after him to await the Cavallo di Fuoco, the "Fire Horse" of Ripatransone's traditional fireworks celebration.
This bond is exactly where our way of making wine begins: to value the land, respect it, and let it speak through every glass.
