We believe wine is a melting pot of different languages. We aim at creating a network of exchange and sharing therefore we are always keen on looking for the co-operation and union of different skills in order to achieve a common growth. Human beings and their stories are the core of everything.

Naturally vine growers

The centrality of the soil, the respect of its rhythms, the seasons’ rotation and the moon phases. All the shades of the soil inside the wine. Harmony. We grow and look after our 6 hectares vineyard (five hectares of our vineyard are planted with Verdicchio whereas 1 hectare with Montepulciano), 2 hectares of arable land and 2 hectares of olive groves; the grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small boxes with care and respect in order to avoid any dangerous mushing.

Soil

The hills formed 5 million years ago where once there was the Adriatic seabed. The vineyards are located at 400 mt. above the sea level and are exposed in full sun; limestone soil with a predominance of clay, blue marls and chalk characterize the Contrada San Michele. Generally, the harvest takes place in September.

Vineyard

One vineyard, one wine. We work on our cru. All the works in the vineyard are performed manually from the Guyot pruning to the removal of the branches, from the binding to the green pruning. The mowing is mechanical. As a fertilizer, we use mixed green manure of legume crops such as fava beans, peas, sainfoin, clover, lupins, rye-grass, vetches, and alfalfa. We follow the guidelines of biodynamic agriculture. In order to prevent or contain the onset of mildew and oidium, we use mine sulfur (not the oil-by product) and non-synthetic copper in a limited amount in order not to burden the soil. We use rain-water that we gather from the roofs and we produce our own electricity by means of photovoltaic panels. The moon phases are strictly followed for every vineyard and winery.
To defend soil biodiversity, no herbicides, no pesticides and no fertilisers.

Winery

Spontaneous fermentation and long ageing sur lies/fine wines for all our wines to express the terroir at its best. We ferment our white wines off the skins an there is no maceration; the whole grapes are lightly pressed. Pied de cuve and fermentation take place in stainless steel containers or in wood barrels. Long maturing and aging on fine lees. Light filtering only when and if necessary. Our red wines are young and fresh and the grapes destemmed and crushed. They have a short maceration on the skins and are fermented in a stainless steel container. All the reds are unfiltered.
