Tradition and innovation meet at Podere Scurtarola

With 180 years of family history and knowledge embedded in the very soil, the Lorieri family have a deep-set respect for the living, breathing ecosystem that is the vineyard. A respect that stimulates curiosity and a never-ending quest for more harmonious and efficient production methods. There is, in fact, no lack of innovation at Podere Scurtarola, with several universities collaborating on projects involving drones and robots. But the heart of the winery will always be the plants themselves, the observation of leaves and grape color, the manual grafting and tending, the tasting, to determine sweetness and intensity.

To achieve the best possible wine, you have to listen to the vineyard. This is why we try to interfere as little as possible with the natural balance that exit between the plants and herbs and the millions of microorganisms living in the soil. We don't use any herbicides or fertilizers, we never work the soil and we don't even water the vines, despite our hot and very dry summers.

A shortcut to the good life

Podere Scurtarola is situated on the old pilgrimage route, Via Francigena, that runs through the hills between Carrara and Massa on its way from France to Rome. Scurtarola, in fact, means shortcut in the local dialect. Through good company, nature, wine and excellent food you will discover that the shortest track to the good life is indeed to be found right here!

Local grape varieties and innovative wine

With a passion for local traditions and specialties, Pierpaolo Lorieri have been collecting local grape varieties for many years. One of these is the Vermentino Nero, which at Podere Scurtarola is vinified and refined for five years in oak. Our Vernero has a dark, almost ink black colour and a warm, full taste. The high acidity gives it a timeless taste and makes it an excellent wine for any meat dish, or simply to enjoy on its own.
