"
The activities of the Benedictines Monks spaced in multiple fields. As an
example in viticulture there is an actual discovery in a Benedictine Code
called "Salubri potu dissertatio" dated 1621 that quotes Medieval
agricultural techniques, written by the Benedictine Monk Francesco Scacchi
born in Preci but Fabrianensis as it had been ordered there. This old book
speaks about a fermentation technique of grapes in the bottle with a
detailed exposure, and this fact is very important because a Monk in the
area knew the champenois method, that is to say Champagne production
approximately 50 years before its historical discovery, attributed to the
French Benedictine Monk, Dom Perignon. So it seems that Dom Perignon took
this procedure known in our area. There exist 6 copies of this code one
which is kept at the industrial giant of Italian sparkling wines, Lunelli,
and another copy at a local prestigious wine maker called Valentini. last
one wrote also a book on wine titled "Covered in Umbria" in which he
illustrates this recent discovery.
