Making wine is not how to make nails or light bulbs, where to guarantee the product it is enough to ensure the accuracy of the program and the machine.
Making wine brings into play an almost innumerable amount of factors, each of which determines the nature and quality of the result: heaven and earth, wet and dry, fog and snow, and then, of course, the most in–depth technical knowledge; in short, to make a good wine we need a knowledge continuously allied to a kind of human wisdom that can be reached with experiences, mistakes, changes and insights that belong not so much to a job, but to a profession continually keen to improve herself.
This is what the Bergamo family has been seeking to implement in its fifty years of experience in wine. In this regard Ca’ Selva has a main road, clearly identified in its motto:
Humanae artis natura magistra.
The Latin phrase, fully translated, means that nature is necessarily mistress of all human art, and the word ars, artis, in Latin, means a technique which includes, in its making, including insights and inventions, elements indispensable for any result that is not mere reproduction of a model.
Thus, the first choice of the company, which since was founded, in the wide grave under the mountains of Friuli, practices the organic cultivation of vines, in accordance with its philosophy of production; from which also the decision to accompany, in the label of its bottles, the traditional name of the grape variety with a designation of Friuli that highlights, poetically, the distinctive quality obtained thanks to the current wine making technique.
