The ‘agricolo’
the energy..
the whole family
..Every year , I never know how the wine will come out and as long as I have not racked , bottled and left to rest for months , I’m never certain that it will become ‘My’ wine. So I spend months during which I’m assailed by the doubts that it might be not what ‘it’ should be . Winters in which I feel I do not understand it in the right way and never to the end. Ours is a controversial love , doubtful, and like all visceral love is beautiful because it pushes you to accept each other for what it is .
We cultivate the vineyards of high vocation in the hills of Faenza near the ‘Oriolo dei Fichi’ zone, fortified historical site dating back to 1457, among the oldest in Italy .
Total is the respect of the native varieties preserved in the old family vineyards and renovated in the newly developed systems .
Sangiovese , Albana , Burson , Centesimino , Famoso , are some of the native varieties grown with respect for tradition .
