The vineyard covers 6 hectares and to reach it I just need to cross the road.
I believe in the principles of organic farming, certified on the label since 2012.

The exposure of the ridge is to the east/west, the maximum altitude is 360 meters above sea level and all around the forest, plants and streams, mitigate the temperatures.

Eastern exposure.
Marl, alberese limestone, and clay schists.
2004 e 2014
Less clay-rich soils, yet still with a strong limestone presence. Marl and a little sand, with eastern exposure, where the vine grows alongside downy oak, broom, and juniper.

From this extraordinary layering of time comes the character of the land: a place of depth, authenticity, and memory, preserving its truest identity within its very nature.
THE OLIVE OIL
Ready to dip bread in it.
Traditional low density plant, spontaneous grassing and absence of synthetic products.
Manual harvesting, immediate and cold pressing are the secrets for making a good and healthy oil.
The most common cultivar is the Frantoio, followed by Pendolino, Moraiolo and Leccino.
THE VEGETABLE GARDEN
We eat what we grow and we feel we are an integral part of this circular system.
The vegetable garden, surprising us according to the season, the fruit trees, the natural compost.
Hens around, mushrooms, bees.
