Production philosophy in the vineyard and winery

Our production philosophy aims to directly link the Vineyard of origin to the uncorked bottle.

Trying to link the beginning and the end of each of our wines is a laborious but necessary process, without which our mission would be meaningless.
To ensure that each of our bottles conveys something of the vineyard of origin and of our family, we rely primarily on the vineyard itself: our vines are at least twenty-five years old, and we maintain the same standard of care for each one, with frequent passages to monitor the growing cycle during each season and decide what action to take.

The fact that our family name is on every bottle obliges us to work tirelessly in our Cellar and in our Vineyards: a job we learnt from our grandparents and which we update with every harvest.

What we do in the vineyard is simple and effective: let nature take its course, while trying to respect our vineyards.

We have always been convinced that great grapes make great wine. The commitment of a family-run farm is the responsibility to carry on not only the family name, but also the history of our vineyards, vineyards that have given us immense satisfaction.

We give voice to the different vineyards and their microclimates: our wines all come exclusively from a single vineyard, a demanding choice in every sense but also a respectful one, capable of yielding unprecedented nuances.

We are also prepared to sacrifice part of our production in order to obtain a great wine.

It is necessary to thin out the bunches, reducing the quantity of grapes produced by each vine, and we prefer to decide how to manage this year by year. We let the seasons tell us when to act and when it is better to let Nature take its course.

Ageing is of particular importance and, with this in mind, we have chosen a select few coopers over the last twenty years, who continue to supply our barrels. In addition to this, all our wines spend at least one calendar year – after bottling – in our cellar, to smooth out the rough spots of youth and arrive on the table ready to be enjoyed.
