Our vineyards

EACH VINE IS THE GRAPE VARIETY THAT ORIGINATES IT, THE TERRAIN IT GROWS ON, IT IS CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, IT IS THE ‘WORKSHOP’ WHERE WATER AND MINERALS, AIR, SUN AND DEW FLOW INTO THE PLANT THAT MAN THEN LOOKS AFTER.

LAND AND ELEMENTS

Vigna Miracolo

A vineyard that takes its name from one of the sharecroppers who worked this field in the beginning of the last century. It is reserved for red grapes because this vineyard is particularly “blessed” (‘Miracolo’ in Italian in fact means miracle) due to its southern exposure and gentle slope.

Planting scheme: Spurred cordon, Guyot
Production: 80/110 quintals/hectare

Vigna Varà

Varà is another vineyard named after a sharecropper. Like all nicknames, it designates a feature that is passed down to all other descendants like in a dynasty. Varà was a worker who loved being in the sun, like a lizard (varano in Italian) always looking for a nice warm spot to rest on. Just like Varà, these vines, which are planted in the shape of an amphitheatre, love to bask in the sun.

Vigna Vore

A vineyard with northern exposure, as the name itself implies: on these latitudes, the “Vora” (which means ‘Bora’, i.e. the katabatic wind in the Adriatic Sea) is more synonymous with freshness than with rigour.
