A Renovation brought Fresh Wind into this Traditional Winery

Today, with complete respect for nature and its surroundings, the vineyards are treated with green manures and natural fertilizers to produce delicious organic wines. Bocale covers a total land of nine hectares,of which 5.5 hectares is dedicated to vineyards for the production of top-quality vines. The estate cultivates high-end Trebbiano, Spoletino, and Sangiovese, along with fruity Sagrantino, being the queen of vineyards.

The current owners have also renovated the ancient cellar of the winery and equip it with modern machinery and techniques. Various processes, such as aging and refining of wines take place in French oak barrels and fermentation is done with native yeasts, under appropriate temperature conditions. All the energy consumption during the wine production process is taken from renewable sources using a photovoltaic system.
