Caron Demonio 2022 Regina del Quartuccio

Caron Demonio 2022

A powerful and distinctive red from Tuscia

Caron Demonio 2022 is one of the flagship wines of Regina del Quartuccio, a young winery in the Tuscia area of Viterbo. It is made from a blend of Violone (Montepulciano), Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, sourced from old vineyards located in the hills south of Viterbo. This wine combines character and drinkability, fully expressing the region’s viticultural vocation and the artisanal philosophy of the winery.

Vineyard philosophy

The vineyards are managed with sustainable and manual practices, without synthetic chemicals and with great respect for natural cycles. Harvesting is carried out by hand in wooden crates, with a careful selection of the bunches directly in the vineyard. This approach allows only perfectly ripe and healthy grapes to be brought to the cellar, fundamental for a wine that conveys authenticity and precision.

Winery approach

Caron Demonio 2022 is vinified in cement tanks with a 10-day skin maceration, extracting color and aromas without excess. After fermentation, the wine is aged in large, neutral oak barrels and fiberglass tanks, a process that maintains the freshness and purity of the fruit while softening the tannins without covering the varietal expression. No invasive filtration is used, preserving the wine’s integrity.

Tasting notes

Color: Deep ruby red with violet reflections.
Nose: Fruity and floral bouquet with notes of cherry, small red fruits and fresh flowers.
Palate: Fresh and smooth, with firm yet balanced tannins, a savory and persistent finish that invites another sip.

Ideal pairings

Caron Demonio 2022 pairs perfectly with red meats, game, roasts and aged cheeses. It shines in convivial dinners, where it fully expresses its authentic and territorial soul. Serve at 16–18 °C, with slight aeration before tasting.

Regina del Quartuccio – Natural Winery of Tuscia

A young winery with deep roots

The Regina del Quartuccio winery was founded in 2020 by Remo Bartolomei, a young winemaker who grew up among the vineyards of Tuscia, in the Viterbo area. The project was born in the land of his origins and is deeply connected to his family history: as a child, Remo experienced harvest time as a moment of collective celebration, a ritual that brought together relatives and friends around homemade wine. This spirit of sharing and authenticity is now the beating heart of the winery, which produces wines that tell the true essence of the territory.

The name and the production philosophy

The name Regina del Quartuccio is not only a reference to the area of origin but also a tribute to Remo’s mother, who was affectionately known by this nickname in the family. The encouragement of friends from Il Vinco was crucial to starting the official production. From the beginning, the production philosophy has been clear: natural, genuine wines with a strong identity, made from grapes cultivated without compromise and vinified with minimal intervention.

Vineyards and low-intervention winemaking

The grapes come from vineyards of native varieties planted on volcanic soils, a distinctive characteristic of the Tuscia area. This unique soil gives the wines minerality, tension, and aromatic complexity. In the cellar, fermentations are spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, no additives are used, and the wines follow a natural evolution without forced techniques or aggressive filtrations. The goal is to listen to the grapes and the territory, guiding them without altering their identity.

Wines as expressions of the territory

The first wines released by the winery perfectly represent this philosophy. “Est/Remo”, a white wine that reinterprets Lazio’s traditional blends in a personal way, is fresh, territorial, and versatile. “Mannajacane”, a direct and vibrant red, carries the Calabrian roots of Remo’s father in its name and style. Each new label is conceived to be authentic and artisanal, capable of conveying emotions and telling the story of Tuscia and its people. Regina del Quartuccio is not just a winery but a small world where memory, passion, and respect for the land intertwine.
