Soil

Our strength comes from the earth. Our hills are characterized by a unique blend of clay.

This element, so unique here, is the secret of our wines: it regulates the vine’s water supply, concentrating aromas and complexity in the grapes, and gives structure, elegance, and longevity to the bottles.

Climate

The exceptional quality of our grapes is the result of an enviable geographical location.

The proximity to the sea (7 km) tempers the climate and provides salinity, while the proximity to the mountains (30 km) ensures cool night air.

This balance creates significant temperature variations during the crucial ripening period, favoring the development of complex aromas in the grapes and maintaining a natural acidity that translates into wines of great character, structure, and longevity.

Grapes

Our grapes are grown with care and with the utmost respect for the land. We have maintained clones of the old native vines, and production is enhanced by selecting only the finest bunches during ripening.

The secret to the quality of each bunch lies in the combination of a unique terroir and the perfectionism applied to every single production step.

dove siamo

In the Marche region
in the province of Ascoli Piceno

Our soils have a medium texture with a good percentage of clay.

Clay is the distinctive and peculiar element of these hills and is particularly suited to growing vines.

The soil has a high limestone content and an alkaline pH, and the soils that support the vines are always deeper than 80/100 cm, allowing the roots to have a considerable volume of soil to explore. The subsoil is poor in water, but retains moisture, an absolute characteristic of this area.

The grapes enjoy optimal exposure and benefit from the mixed climate created by the proximity of the sea (7 km) and the mountains (30 km). During the ripening process, we experience temperature variations that give our grapes unique and distinctive character.
