Information

To nothing: 2018
Country: Italy
Region: Tuscany
Grape variety: Sangiovese
Floor:
Vineyard size: 15 Has
Plant density per hectare: 6000
Vinification and aging: After a previous passage, the grapes to produce this wine remain on
the plants for a further week to prolong maturation. Harvest is manually made with great attention to the health
of the cluster; then 70% of the grapes is de-stemmed and crushed.
Yeasts are solely natives. Only manual submersions of the cap of the wine are carried out and only if necessary
open pumping procedures. The perfect maturation of the grape and the grape seed enables us to extend the
maximum length of maceration, that can even last for months.

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.

Organic and Biodynamic

viticulture

What we mean by organic and biodynamic 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.

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.
