PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY
The purpose of our work is to do all we can to ensure that the plant grows healthy and robust to resist parasites and be able to feed naturally. To achieve this goal, we know we have to safeguard the biodiversity within the estate, a key element in maintaining a balanced ecosystem in the vineyard.
However, nothing would be possible without the contribution of the living earth, which spreads its energies and vivifies the vines.
The company philosophy is closely linked to sustainable viticulture, the choice of traditional methods, the quality of the grapes and the culture of the territory, combined with the constant search for innovation.
The harvest, strictly manual, is carried out from the second half of October for 3-4 weeks, until the first week of November. The entire production process, including vinification and subsequent aging in wood, takes place entirely at the estate.
