Our goal is to produce bolgheri wines that are personal and natural, wines that will be the genuine expression of their place of origin, of those who made them, and of the vines that yielded them. These are elegant, enjoyable, well-balanced wines that are never excessively alcoholic.
Michele personally and painstakingly supervises every step of the wine production, a vinification process that is sensitive, careful, and deeply respectful of the natural qualities of the grapes, which vary every year.
What we have chosen to do is to follow very traditional methods, and not to utilise any additional substances or physio-chemical practices. In other words, the only ingredients we use are grapes, which are brought into the cellar perfectly healthy and well-balanced, thanks to expert management of the vineyards and favourable natural growing conditions. We do allow a very low amount of SO2.
Barrel ageing is carried out primarily in once-used barrels, and partly in large oak botti, to ensure that the scent of oak does not dominate the wine. The wines are not filtered.
The wine labels, too, like all of our promotional materials, are designed by us, whatever their merits or demerits. But this is the way we like it, and doing this makes our wines feel more “ours.” The labels always bear images of vines or grapes, and mostly drawn from the Etruscan culture.
