GULF OF TIGULLIO-PORTOFINO D.O.C. (Denomination of Controlled Origin) harvest 2017
THE COMPANY WAS BORN IN 2004 AFTER MY TWENTY YEAR – EXPERIENCE IN THE FAMILY COMPANY WITH
THE IDEA OF PRODUCING WINE EXCLUSIVELY FROM ITS OWN VINEYARDS. TODAY THE COMPANY IS
COMPOSED OF 6 VINEYARDS, 4 OF THEM RECOVERED FROM ABANDONMENT, SPREAD OVER THE
TERRITORY FROM THE HINTERLAND TO THE COAST, WITH A SURFACE OF ABOUT 5 HA.
SINCE THE EARLY YEARS, THE CONVENTIONAL INTEGRATED AGRICULTURE HAS PROGRESSIVELY
ABANDONED BOTH WEED CONTROL AND SYSTEMIC PRODUCTS IN THE VINEYARD YEAR AFTER YEAR TO GET
TO ORGANIC.
SINCE 2019 THE CONVERSION TO BIODYNAMIC AGRICULTURE HAS STARTED.
VINIFICATION TODAY IS TOTALLY FREE OF OENOLOGICAL ADDITIVES AND FILTRATIONS.
