fount of life
Generations have succeeded one another on this land, each one taking
good care of it with loads of love and respect, handing it to the following
ones, being sure it was in good hands.
The land, the vineyards and the wine are the bond that unites us together,
because nothing ties more than a permanent memory, a continuity of
emotions that, punctually, repeat themselves, ancient and new.
Always stunning.

At twilight, but also in midday light
or in that wet of November, I stop to look at the vineyards
and I know that my eyes will never be filled
nor my heart will embrace them.
Regardless of how perfect the songs of the poets might be, and musical,
and they might touch all the strings stretched around the soul
I know that still little has been told and nobody will ever succeed.
The wine I choose in the moment of emotion
is a silent thanksgiving to those who came before us
leaving the signs of their love
for this land.

Our family, originally from Loro Piceno, bought, at the beginning of the
19th century, lands that were part of the Abbey of Fiastra. Subsequent
acquisitions have brought the extension of the property to 300 hectares.
In this place, halfway between the Sibillini mountains and the Adriatic see,
Murola was created, in the mythical land of the Piceno People, those who
originally followed the “Sacred Woodpecker,” as Strabo said.
The Murola, today an area of excellence at the edge of a Nature Reserve
and an exceptional archaeological site, is the Land that houses our
autochthonous wines.
Murola is a local place name, which indicates the fount used for watering
the animals, for this reason lands with “muròle” on them were particularly
appreciated in antiquity. Here there is one, already highlighted in the cabrei
(ancient accounting registers) at the beginning of the 18th century.

The strong symbolism taken by the cultivation of the vine and the winemaking has characterized the entire civilization of the Mediterranean
area up to the borders with Asia.
There is a constant and indelible trace of the presence of the vine in this
long journey, which begins, according to the Bible, when Noah, coming
out from the ark on Mount Ararat, plants the first vine.
In a series of frescoes and sculptures, but especially in the extraordinary
dominance of thought, from the Egyptians, to the Greeks, to the Romans
until the junction with Christian civilization, we witness the incessant
blase of the wine as “Source of Life”.
This image, taken from the ancient Italian civilization decorations,
wants to accompany with lightness, vitality and harmony the
selection of varietal wines signed MURÒLA.

RED VARIETALS AND “DOP”
Le Marche is a land blessed by the two Red Wines
that make central Italy great: Sangiovese and Montepulciano.
These are the Red Wines that we grow with loving passion,
pointing to the exaltation of typicality, and that we propose,
especially in purity, as a tribute to our Land.

the ne w frontier of wine
without added sulfites
Wine Research Team is a research and
innovation project started in 2005, conceived
and coordinated by winemaker Riccardo
Cotarella in collaboration with the University
of Tuscia with the intention to expand the
knowledge that stands at the base of the
complex biochemical phases of winemaking
and with the purpose of eliminating the use of
sulphites and not only that.
24
During the grape harvest of 2012 a protocol
has been prepared and the considerable
number of 26 wine companies spread across
North, Central and Southern Italy united under
the technical guidance of Dr. Cotarella have
worked to produce the first wines that don’t
have added sulphites.
To highlight in the labels the fact that these
wines have no added sulphites, the 26 wine
companies have chosen the logo WRT: this logo
shows along its circumference the lettering
“WINE RESEARCH TEAM” with a central
stylized visual of a sailboat, as a methafor for
dynimism, efficiency and a fair competion with
the forces and laws of nature.

Muròla is proud to introduce the wines Vore
and Lucilliano: they are the results of an
engaging and passionate work lead both in
the vineyard and in the winery. The Company
is aware of the fact that this is only a first step
and that many other harvests will be necessary,
because the path towards innovation is never
easy nor fast: passion motivates us.

This range, our flagship,
takes the name of ing. Teodoro Bonati.
Although he lived in the 18th century Ferrara, which was at those times
part of the Papal States, he was open to the stimuli of research that in
that moment used to hold France as a promoting center.
The logo, that reproduces the globe, is a drawing which was born in the
context of the researches about the theory’s definition of free falling
weights’ southern deviation.
The stylized bell tower indicates the building from which they let the
weights fall, to study their deviation from the vertical.
This is part of the series of problems that were open by Galileo’s studies and
that were connected to Earth’s rotation, a fact they were indirectly proof of.

The ancestor Teodoro Bonati, illuminist of the Eighteenth Century
and “ingegnero” (engeneer), stood out in the research of the laws
governing the dynamics of nature, and especially in that of the
motion of the water.
The great character of the wine we’ve dedicated to him wants to
ressemble the stature of the scientist.

Sixtus V and author of the first major work of modern oenology: “De
Naturali Vinorum Historia de Vinis Italiae”.

Here hundreds of grape varieties have been meticulously studied and
the wines that come with them are described.
It is the first work of cataloging the extraordinary richness of native
vine varieties of Italy.

This wine, which gathers the great and significant indigenous vines of
the Territory, Ribona, Verdicchio, Pecorino and Passerina, is a sample of
complexity.
Pale straw yellow color with delicate green hues, intense and round
perfume where the delicate vanilla prevails, followed by intense
perceptions of tropical fruits and citruses. Fresh on the palate, fullbodied and soft, it stands out thanks to great minerality that it leaves in
the mouth. Slight hints of almonds follow in the aftertaste, indisputable
contribution of Verdicchio.
