Winemaker Notes
Verdicchio grapes come from vineyards with an average age of around 50 years planted in Contrada
S. Michele at 200 meters above sea level. The soils are rich in limestone and chalk. Harvest in September. Fermentation in steel tanks followed by refinement in bottle for 6 months. Bottled in April 2023. Being a natural and unfiltered wine it may appear cloudy and have a residue at the bottom of the bottle
The Story
The winery manages old recovered and partly renewed vineyards organically divided into nine parcels for a total of 6.61 hectares. The vines have different exposures, soils, altitudes - between 200 and 400 meters above sea level - and an average age of about 40 years. Given their age, it is very important to manage the vineyard in order to guarantee the right balance between production and survival of the plants, between the rows we find wild grass and the vines are treated exclusively with copper and sulfur, avoiding any intervention with synthetic products. No fertilizations are carried out and green manure is practiced. The work in the countryside follows the rhythm of the seasons and is done manually. Fermentations are spontaneous, without the addition of adjuvants and additives. All the parcels are vinified separately, to understand in depth the characteristics of each individual terroir and with the specific purpose of creating a wide variability, altimetric, pedological and microclimatic.
