VENETO
After more than 15 years of experiences and collaborations in the world of wine, I realized the dream of opening my small farm to produce wine "as I like it" in the hills near home. The project started in 2018 with the rental and arrangement of the vineyards and cellar of a historic producer in the area, Ermido Piva. The company is located in Nanto, province of Vicenza, on the eastern side of the Berici Hills, a hilly area of sedimentary origin, characterized by silt-clay soils, rich in limestone rocks, with a basically basic pH. It consists of just over 2 hectares of vineyards, divided into five small plots, 1 hectare of woods, olive trees and fruit trees. The cultivated vines are Tai Rosso, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, Carmenére, Garganega, Pinot bianco, Tai Bianco and Malvasia Istriana. The work in the countryside has the aim of enhancing the peculiarities of the different vineyards and the different grape varieties, seeking the maximum balance between the plants and the surrounding environment. We do not use chemicals, we limit treatments and steps with the tractor, the harvest takes place manually. We cultivate in a way that respects man and the land, maintaining and increasing the vitality of our land. The grapes are representative of the vineyards from which they come and transformed into wine in a simple way, without forcing and manipulating, to obtain original, genuine and accessible wines. In the cellar we operate a careful selection of the grapes, fermentations take place with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control. No clarifications, subtractions or additions are made, sulphites are used only if necessary and in minimal quantities. Bottling takes place without filtration. Each vintage makes history in itself.
