…I eat the pulp of a grape-berry
knowing that one day it will become wine,
and I will see it embracing a glass
while it will be showing
the thickness of its body,
a careful body refined by the rest,
rocked by the time
and left in the darkness of a barrel.
Francesco Petruccioli "Sapendo che un giorno"
Every vine is like a child to protect, bring up and love. This is the motto that guide us during the cultivation of our vineyards and olive groves: patience and steadfastness are the virtues of our workers.
Our vineyards, growing southwards and eastwards, measure almost 60 hectares and are located in the territory of Nocciano, Catignano and Civitaquana.
They draw all the necessary nourishments from a pebbly soil helped by an organic agriculture. In this way we obtain high-quality grapes fated to create our masterpieces.
Only the best selected grapes are chosen to give birth to our wines: soft press, fermentation and maceration of the skins at cold controlled temperature, racking by falls and many other technical tricks make our products special products, but is the passion we put in our work that gives every wine its exceptional character.
Every wine has its own destiny: there is the wine that suits our meals, the one for special occasion, the wine that gives us happiness and the one that makes us sad.
Everything has its moment, its time for everything.
The same happens for wine that accompanies and exalts what we eat.
What matters is choosing with care, knowing the amount of work and sacrifice behind every drop of wine: softly touching the wood of a big barrel or a small barrique, relying on the safety of the bottling systems, thinking that only through the wise work of skilful hands we bring to life a high quality product.
As seasons pass by, our wines refine through a slow ecstatic rest.
More than 200.000 bottles lie down at controlled temperature and humidity in special made cells aligned into an subterranean cloister where only silence and darkness endure. Every single bottle is checked to guarantee fine wines to your taste.
