Our brand highlights two very important aspects: our many years of experience given by four generations in the wine making field and the strong link with the environment and the local area especially with the town of Staffolo, commonly considered a privileged territory and suitable for the production of a great Italian white wine, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico.
Our small business (8 ha of vineyards), the family management, the new knowledge and agro–wine techniques and the new winery, equipped with the most modern production technologies, bring us today, as yesterday, to differentiate the production of typical wines of high quality, but at a fair price.
The Vineyards
Our eight hectares of vineyard fall entirely within the Municipality of Stafford, and are distributed in four different districts: Salmagina, Castellaretta, Campagliano, Filellu, each distinguished by its unique terroir.
The viticultural heart of our company is the vineyard of 5 hectares in the Salmagina, historically one of the most known and suitable for the production of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico, which gives a hint of minerals, of very strong taste, due to the particular brackish nature of its lands, most likely due to the presence of saline in the past.
This explains the origin of the name of this district, namely "Salmagina".
Our red grapes, characteristic of the territory, are Sangiovese and Montepulciano, all grown in the plot of land, called "Filellu".
Next to the Verdicchio, our prevalent native white grape variety, interesting is the recent discovery of an old vine, also typical of the area, the Incrocio Bruni 54 (Sauvignon x Verdicchio).
In effect, it was present in the 60s – 70s between the rows of Verdicchio, then over time it was gradually shelved because of its low yield, also evidenced by the small size of its cluster.
All varieties, both white and red, are trained with Guyot method, on medium soils (limestone, sand, clay), benefiting from a truly optimal exposure from south–west, south to south–east.
