Each distinctive feature results from the dedicated passion of the winegrowers and from technical expertise, which throughout the years has lead to perfection. Their vineyards grow in a marly soil that has perfect exposure to sunlight and an ideal microclimate.
Organically Cultivated Vineyards
The vineyards produce the best grapes each year used to make full-bodied, fragrant, and fresh wines. The use of manual, innovative techniques without any use of chemicals keep the wines natural and help preserve the environment. Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Malvasia, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pignolo,etc., are some of the varieties grown here. In the cellar, vinification takes place with a combination of tradition and modern technology. Temperature-controlled fermentation helps preserve the grapes’ properties and natural aroma. French oak barrels are used for ageing, and a vault house holds many of their old vintages and wine labels.
