Old Vineyards and Organic Farming for Authentic Wines

At Filarole, we produce wine in a traditional manner, relying solely on grapes and patience. We honor the unique characteristics of each vintage, allowing the grapes to ripen naturally without artificial interventions. Our wines are crafted using indigenous yeasts and contain no additives, ensuring that every bottle reflects the authenticity of its origin.

Working with old vineyards holds significant cultural, social, ecological, and oenological value.

Our vineyards, aged between 30 and 100 years, were revitalized starting in 2016, as we rehabilitated abandoned plots. We focus on traditional local grape varieties, including Barbera and Croatina for reds, and Candia Aromatic Malvasia and Ortrugo for whites. Additionally, we preserve rare older varieties like Verdea and Duraguzza, contributing to the region's biodiversity.

Organic Farming for Resilient Vineyards

We practice organic farming, minimizing interventions by leveraging the natural resilience of our old vines against diseases and environmental changes. Our approach involves meticulous manual labor, tending to each plant with care to maintain a balanced ecosystem. This results in modest grape yields, but the fruits are rich and healthy, allowing us to produce wine that is true to its roots.
