Wineries

Azienda Agricola Luciano Landi

The unique and recognizable style of our wines was born in the Marche region, in a town: Belvedere Ostrense, situated in the hills overlooking the sea at a height of 250 meters above sea level, North of Jesi in the province of Ancona.

For centuries the vines have thriven in this environment, thanks to the many hours of sunshine that alternate with cool nights and sea breezes that mitigate the harshness of the coldest months. This ideal climate is combined with a great vocation and variability of the soils, from the soft and of limestone ones for red grapes to the clayey and of medium texture ones for the white grapes. With these favorable conditions we have added only one thing to the fulfillment of our wines, the passion that has more and more involved us in years of experience where we have refined our viticultural and winemaking techniques. The company was founded in the 50s by Sergio Landi with a property of 4 hectares of land converted to the cultivation of typical grapes of the territory like Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Lacrima di Morro d’Alba. already appreciated for its properties by Federico Barbarossa in 1167.

Currently the company is managed by nephew Luciano and covers a surface of 20 hectares. Of which 16 hectares of vineyards.

From traditional winegrowing they passed to new plants with 5,500 plants/ha trained with spurred cordon with yields that does not deviate from 1,5 Kg of grapes per vine.

Built in 1994, the new winery was followed by a second structure, adjacent, underground, for the "elevage" of wine in fine wood and the subsequent aging in bottle. The entire production chain is managed with utmost care to enhance in the best way the potential of each harvest and to give our wines character traits, style and charm.

Cantina Ma.ri.ca.

CANTINA Ma.Ri.Ca. winery. It adopts the latest technology for making wine: so it enhances the quality of the raw material, allowing to better express the organoleptic characteristics of the wines produced. The great commitment of expert vintners and a scrupulous adherence to the hygienic conditions in winemaking are the only means to achieve the objectives of quality business goals.

The exterior of the basement is divided in a logical and rational way to facilitate the processing of white grapes on one side of the building and of red grapes on the other. There are two different hoppers for transfer of the harvested produce, a kit composed of three macerators for red wine making and a kit of vertical fermenters for white wine making. All winemakers are thermo–conditioned and completed by a pneumatic press to ensure soft pressing of grapes.
