The name Villa Fidelia comes from a monumental villa of the 1800s, situated about 500 metres from the winery, and which represents the town of Spello from a historical and cultural perspective. In so doing, Villa Fidelia Rosso began to take on the precise characteristics which it maintains to this day. In 1998, when Riccardo Cotarella began his collaboration with Sportoletti, he made important modifications to the way the vineyards were run, to the process of vinification and to the blend of grapes. The first vintage produced of Villa Fidelia Rosso was in 1990. With 5,000 vines per hectare, they are able to control the number of buds and consequently the productivity of the vines.
