The passion dedicated to the land and to the cultivation of autochthonous vines has allowed us to produce high quality wines. We grow the Prugnolo Gentile, Mammolo, Malvasia, Trebbiano, Grechetto and black Canaiolo grapes in order to produce five DOCG, DOC and IGT labels.
In the vineyard we do not use synthetic plant protection products, and in the cellar we use only indigenous yeasts that permit a spontaneous and natural fermentation.
Just because we want nature to take its course.
