‘Wine is made in the vineyard.
The rest is listening.’
We believe wine is made in the vineyard.
It’s not a figure of speech: it’s how we take every decision, from pruning to harvest, from fermentation to bottling.
The more we listen in the field, the less we intervene in the cellar. And so we leave the stage to the variety and the land.
In the vineyard and in the cellar:
everything at the right time
Before the bottle, one goal: wines that truly tell the story of this land.
We chose organic farming to respect our land. Today we are certified organic operators.
In the vineyard we experimented: converting from spurred cordon to Guyot to give new vigour to vines over thirty years old, lowering yields and bringing into the glass everything this volcanic soil can give.
2018 saw our first wines. Pruning, canopy management, harvest: all by hand, so that the bunches ripen in their ideal microclimate.
Soft pressing, temperature-controlled vinification. Then each wine chooses its own time: the wine leads, we follow. So that every bottle tells, unfiltered, the identity of the land.
The choices that
built the first sip
- Organic choice: we converted the whole estate before bottling the first bottle. Certified organic operators from the start, not by adaptation.
- Experimental pruning and conversion of training systems: the decisive agronomic choice to restore vital energy to vines over thirty years old and drastically reduce yields. Because excellence comes from concentration, not quantity.
- 2018, our first wines: the ones that give voice to everything we believe in.
- Today: pruning, canopy management and harvest strictly by hand, every year.
- In the cellar: soft pressing, temperature-controlled vinification, winemaking protocols that respect each wine's timing.
- A non-interventionist approach in the cellar: every stage is monitored with periodic laboratory analyses, to preserve the varietal and territorial authenticity of every wine.
“The vineyard has a voice of its own when you truly listen.”
Producing well,
without consuming the future
Making wine responsibly means taking care not only of the grapes, but also of the land that hosts them.
For us sustainability isn’t a statement of intent: it’s a concrete choice, present at every stage of production, from vineyard to cellar, from the energy we use to the suppliers we work with.
How we live it,
every day
- Controlled grass cover: we encourage the growth of shallow-rooted grasses, which create a natural microclimate in the rows and encourage the vines to root deeper. Just half a metre down they find moist soil thanks to the draining volcanic ground. The result: less water use, less erosion, more expressiveness from every plant.
- Collection and reuse of rainwater for emergency irrigation.
- Photovoltaic system for the winery's energy self-sufficiency.
- Selection of local, sustainable, certified suppliers to reduce the impact of the whole supply chain.
A volcanic terroir, on a winegrower's scale
Lazio’s wine country is a land few truly know. We were born here, we work here every day, and we’re convinced it has everything it takes to sit on the best tables, in Italy and around the world.
Our vineyards lie on the slopes of the Latium Volcano, in the Castelli Romani: volcanic soils, cool currents from above, ancient minerality, a terroir that gives the whites sapidity and structure, and the reds character, warmth and length.
Our goal is one: to produce top-quality wines made in Lazio and take them wherever wine is chosen with care, in Italy and around the world.
We see ourselves as ambassadors of Lazio’s wine. Because of one thing we are certain: Lazio’s wine has a lot to say, and we’ve decided to give it a voice.
