Foot-treading for a gentle maceration, then manual destemming through a grating. Wild-yeast fermentation, and subsequent maturation, in glazed cement vats. No filtering, but a dash of sulphur before bottling. Emidio and his daughters have always eschewed the use of chemicals, their main goal being to produce vibrant wines from healthy soils. All work at the winery and in the vineyards is aligned to the phases of the moon.
Fascinating aromas of ripe fruit, apricot jam, candied orange and herbal notes on the nose. Intense on the palate, with incredible power and energy, complemented by lovely minerality and impressive structure.
Farmed according to biodynamic principles, on sandy, loamy soils with high gravel content. Mainly trained using a pergola system known as 'tendone' in central Italy, the vines are influenced less by the soil and more by the dual effect of warming air that flows down from the mountains and in from the sea – a climatic factor also reflected in the wine itself.
