The Vineyards

The vineyards, all of which are estate-owned, are situated in four of the prestigious “crus” of the hamlet of Santa Maria:
the Roggeri vineyard, with south-easterly exposure, is near the winery,
while the San Biagio vineyard, with south-westerly exposure is situated on the hill of the same name opposite the company.

Most of the vineyards lie in these two areas.


Vigneti dei Roggeri

Their soils have peculiar characteristics which are transferred to the wine:
the Roggeri soil, which is mainly calcareous-clay, produces wines with great structure and deep colour,
while the sandier soil of Bricco San Biagio conveys an instantly recognisable and intense floral bouquet to the wine.

Two more vineyards are located in the Rive and Capallotti crus, with south and south-easterly exposure.


Bricco San Biagio

The vineyards are cultivated in observance of the vine’s ecosystem.

Controlled grass growth is implemented between the rows of vines,
eliminating the need for chemical weed-killers.

Defensive treatments are restricted to the very minimum,
using products with a low environmental impact,
and fertilisers are only used in emergencies.

With the aim of respecting the vine’s rhythms and improving quality,
the production of grapes per plant is meticulously controlled,
reducing the number of buds with winter pruning and the number of bunches with thinning in summer.
