On the wonderful Marche hills, about 220 m above sea level, in the hinterland of Senigallia, there is a unique land, of clay and limestone, that combined with the saline air from the nearby sea welcomes as the only mother ground two native grape varieties from which two exceptional wines come: Lacrima di Morro d’Alba DOC and Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC.
Perfumes and history led us to plant them in 2008 on four hectares adjacent to the Estate allowing us to produce four labels between Base and Superior, all vinified in single–variety. With a plant order in the vineyard equal to 5,700 plants per hectare cultivated with Guyot with a production reduced to a single kg of grapes per vine.
In the field we do not use herbicides nor chemical fertilizers; the winemaking process uses traditional methods with low environmental impact: our aim is integrated Bio–Dynamic. Harvest is done only by hand and being in the winery within the vineyard area, pressing is made within one hour from collection, allowing to reduce to 50% the use of sulfites, compared to traditional methods.
The use in the cellar of the most innovative winemaking techniques allows to work grapes and juice in the total absence of oxygen and to preserve and maximize the typical aromas of Lacrima and Verdicchio. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature using a geothermal plant powered 100% by renewable sources.
