Minimal
intervention

Winemaking adopts the company philosophy of minimal intervention, following the natural process of transforming grapes into wine. The fermentations are all spontaneous on indigenous yeasts, there is no chemical correction, no filtration or clarification, minimal use of sulfur dioxide. The tanks used are made of stainless steel, a material that allows the characteristics of the fruit and the vintage to be best preserved.

"OUR WORK IN THE CELLAR IS CARRIED OUT ACCORDING TO PRINCIPLES OF MINIMALISM, BOTH IN THE PROCESSES AND IN THE MATERIALS USED."

We employ simple steps, reduced to a minimum, to preserve the natural expression of our grapes. The packaging is 100% recyclable. We adopt the crown cap for most wines.

From grapes to wine

Among the indigenous varieties of our territory, we grow Barbera, Dolcetto, Moscato Nero and Moscato Bianco. Since 2022 we have also been growing Sauvignon Blanc. The wines reflect the characteristics of the grapes, the soil and the vintage. A particularly hot and dry year will correspond to an enveloping and full-bodied wine, a particularly humid year will correspond to a complex wine full of aromas, and so on in infinite variations. This makes agricultural work and wine production so fascinating.

A look at the past and one at the future. The era of abundance and waste of resources has long been over. The company philosophy is entirely based on saving resources and minimal use of these, in every step. Starting from the soil and plants, minimal mechanical interventions allow significant reductions in consumption, and therefore in emissions. The lack of fertilization guarantees harmony in the development of the vines, balance in production, and the reduction of protection treatments. The plant grows and produces using the resources available and not external production factors, thus eliminating the production, transport and use of raw materials. No plastics of any kind are used in the vineyards and on the company grounds. The vineyard lands are all close to the winery building, there is no need to transport the grapes from far away. The productive harmony extends to the grapes bunches, which, when brought to the cellar, do not require chemical or mechanical corrections for the fermentation and subsequent refinement of the wines. The packaging we use is entirely recyclable and reduced to a minimum. We use recycled materials and reuse the materials we deal with for various uses. Ecological footprint and resilience are concepts that have always been part of our method. 

"ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT AND RESILIENCE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PART OF OUR METHOD"
