Son of fire and cold: of the hot summer days that ripen the grapes and the redde days of late October when the grapes are ready to be picked and the first snow appears on the blue Mountains. A harmonious and authentic wine where the ancient heart of the territory pulses, here viticulture is not just a job, but an act of faith that, through the ritual of the harvest, the wait for the long aging, transforms this unique and rebellious vine into a sensory poetry. Each sip is a journey through history, a hymn to the endurance of the vine that has chosen to remain unique, rare and identical only to itself.
In the heart of the winery is cultivated an ancient and special vineyard, solely made up of native black Vernaccia vines; a place that has long guarded the memory, work, traditions and passion of the area’s winegrowers. The selection and harvesting of the grapes is done with artisanal care, respecting the rhythms of nature and enhancing the unique characteristics of the vineyard. It is from this plot, always called “La Pianetta,” that the wine symbolic of our identity is born.
