Vineyard location and altitude: Torre, Poderini, Vignanova, i Castagni, Campastrello
Vineyard area: 35 Ha
Agricultural practices: Sustentables
Vinification: La fermentación se realiza en tanques de acero utilizando levaduras naturales. Inicialmente con dos remontados al día y, posteriormente, solo uno, según cómo progrese la extracción. La duración de la maceración también se estima en función de catas frecuentes. Después de la fermentación maloláctica, que ocurre de forma natural en noviembre, las distintas vinificaciones se ensamblan y comienza su afinamiento.
Breeding: 12 meses, en parte en grandes fudres de roble (30 hl) y en parte en barricas de 3, 4 y 5 años.
The history of the estate began with Michele, born in Varese but with Sardinian origins, and it was on that island where, while still a child, his true passion for the land began: a passion that involved constant dedication and hard work.

What we mean by Organic Viticulture
Organic fertilizers are used as compost, manure and other natural materials to enrich the soil and provide the nutrients necessary for the growth of vines.
Techniques are implemented to prevent soil erosion, such as planting vegetative covers between the rows of vines and applying minimal or no tillage practices.
During the winemaking process, chemical additives are avoided and the handling of the wine is minimized. The use of natural yeasts and the reduction of sulfites are encouraged.
What we mean by Biodynamic Viticulture
The moon in relation to the earth and its sidereal cycles, the biodynamic agricultural calendar helps the farmer know the right time to prune, fertilize and harvest.
No herbicides are used and the vegetation is allowed to grow freely between the rows of the vines.
Natural fertilizers are made with animal excrement that is introduced into cow horns and buried to later dynamize them in water and apply it to the vineyard.
