Castello Monte Vibiano Vecchio is located in the pastoral setting of Umbria, between Florence and Rome. Gently rolling hills and a sunny, mild climate create the ideal setting for both vineyards and olive groves. Owner Lorenzo Fasola-Bologna has overhauled both his vineyards and his winery to produce complex and seductive wines. Lorenzo’s family has produced and bottled wine on his family’s estate for countless generations. After making a substantial investment in technology, expert consultants, and varietals, Lorenzo is taking winemaking, as well as his estate olive oil production, to a new level. He won’t stop until his Castello Monte Vibiano wines are a household name.

L’Andrea is the result of a selection of the best grapes from the estate, it has a deep and intense purple color. The aromas are elegant, displaying the subtle presence of new oak barrels. It is a very elegant wine that overwhelms with intense scents of red fruits, tobacco and light hints of marzipan. On the palate it shows depth, medium body as well as a nice tannic structure, which proves its great ability to age well for a long period.
