Producer Tenuta Selvadolce

LIGURIA

Tenuta Selvadolce is located in one of the most panoramic areas of the Bordighera hills, overlooking the sea of ​​the extreme west of Liguria a few kilometers from the border with France. Here the warm sun of the Riviera is mitigated by a constant sea breeze that sometimes gives way to the impetuous Maestra wind. 7 hectares of vineyards planted in Vermentino, Pigato, Rossese and Granaccia, are surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, dry stone walls and Bougainvillea. The dog is led by Aris Bancardi, with a veterinary degree in his pocket and a past as a teetotaler, who after finishing his viticulture and horticulture studies, decides to return home with one certainty, that Selvadolce would become a biodynamic farm. The turning point came in 2004 when it started its transformation, aiming for responsible, strictly sustainable agriculture, refusing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Aris's dream of producing quality wines in an absolutely natural way, which are elegant but with a strong personality that speaks of the place where they are born has come true.
