Our aim is
to promote the wine territory producing wines that embody its
key sensory characteristics of freshness and minerality. The primary
focus is on quality. That quality begins in the vineyard. We take
care on all manual procedures among the rows in order to rich
full, uniform ripeness and health. The quality continues in the
cellar. Grapes are processed in full respect of work in the vineyard
to highlight the sensory features of the site climates and imbue
each wine with its own personality.

The nearby
woodlands offer access to the vineyards for the beneficial insects
that live there, such as ladybirds, which are of crucial importance
as they prey on other insects that harm the vines. The strategy
also permits a massive presence of spontaneous herbs and grasses
in the vineyard.
Alternating
strata marls and sandstones. This soil was once at the bottom
of the sea. Over time, it came to form the hills where the vineyards
now stand. The process is crucial because the vines sink their
roots into the soil, extracting a wealth of minerals and imbuing
the wines ith savouriness and an intrinsic freshness.

The mountain
chain of the Alpi lies behind the vineyards, providing protection
from the cold northerly winds. Warms winds blow constantly from
the opposite direction, ensuring constant ventilation between
the rows which means healthy plants and, in summer, healthy grapes.
The slope on
which the vines stand is considerable to ensure optimal exposure
to sunshine for each plant. Since the grapes receive a uniform
amount of sunlight, full ripeness is guaranteed. The steepness
of the hillsides means that all operations in the vineyard have
to be carried out very carefully by hand. .
