The Meaning of the Name “Frammento”:
The name evokes the fossil shell fragments that enrich Decugnano’s soils, silent witnesses of the sea that covered these lands millions of years ago. But “Frammento” (Fragment) also evokes a profound philosophical concept of terroir: even in a single sip of wine (a “fragment”), the totality of the territory’s soul is preserved.
The History and Label:
This label refers to the fossil shells found in Decugnano’s soils, but also to the millennial history of Orvieto and particularly to 1264, when Saint Thomas Aquinas composed the Mass of Corpus Domini in Orvieto, on the occasion of the famous Eucharistic Miracle.
That extraordinary event brought to light a fundamental concept for the Catholic faith: fullness is present even in the fragment. The Latin inscription “Tantum esse sub fragmento, tantum toto tegitur”, appearing on the label, honors this concept, establishing that totality is fully present even in a simple fragment.
Thus the terroir is not divided or broken, but is present in its entirety within every glass of wine.
