Winery
However, a wine, even if it is good, may be valued as unique and recognizable, only if it is a true expression of a territory, including its geological, climatic, faunal and floral characteristics. Because the vines absorb the properties of the soil by means of their roots, caring for the soil is our top priority to encourage strong root structures and healthy, biologically active soil that is extremely fertile. Our vines are a direct product of our climate and geography and must never come into contact with synthetic chemical agents. Based on these principles, we chose to adopt the organic method for our cultivation; we do not use genetically modified organisms, chemical fertilizers and antiparasitic products, fungicides and herbicides.
On the contrary, thanks to the enrichment of our land with natural fertilization and grassing, in addition to the meticulous management of the surrounding greenery and our attentive hand-picking harvesting process, we bring the healthiest grapes to our cellar, to make superior quality wines with a distinct personality.
