Producer La Ricolla

LIGURIA

The La Ricolla farm is located in Tolceto, in the Municipality of Ne in the province of Genoa. It is led by Daniele Parma who we can define as a son of art. His father Giovanni Battista started the distillery business in 1963 and Daniele immediately fell under the fascination of the land and the world of wine.The production began in 2004, thanks to the vinification of grapes from 5 vineyards in 5 different municipalities, all historical of the territory including the splendid plot of Vermentino at the fourteenth-century basilica of the Fieschi in Cogorno; the Genoese bianchetta of Prioria in Carasco and Verici; the Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo from the Tolceto vineyard in the municipality of Né in Val Graveglia which is the first vineyard, impervious and difficult to access, purchased and worked by Daniele. inside of which we find a series of steel vats, a bottling / labeling machine and no wooden barrel as the expert winemaker prefers to keep the floral aromas that the grapes give to the wine. Daniele has converted the company to organic, using only the permitted copper and sulfur and maintains an enological awareness in the cellar that allows him to produce real and living wines, using only steel to maintain the fragrance and specificity of the aromas.
