WINES<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”16″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Giulio Gambelli<\/strong> always told me: \u201cwine is made in the vineyard\u201d<\/em>. Indeed, that has always been true for us. He also introduced me to the \u201cthree P’s\u201d rule that should be applied in any cellar: purity<\/strong>, purity<\/strong> and purity<\/strong>. These are the essential ingredients of our wine, born organic long before the official certification became a widespread badge of honour.<\/p>\n

Running a small company is a luxury that allows me to take care of every detail throughout all the phases of winemaking. I don’t like having too many wines, possibly made by selecting the grapes, some of which end up being less healthy and ripe. This is why I chose to produce only one Brunello and one Red, exclusively made with grapes that are perfectly ready for the job. The grapes I don’t like are simply discarded. My next dream is to make a cru<\/em><\/strong>, a Brunello obtained from grapes coming exclusively form the Bosco<\/strong> vineyard, my favourite one, planted in 1972.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cA laughing wine showed me the way. I listen to the wine\u2019s golden advice, wine can sometimes be a staircase made of dreams. April, the night and the laughing wine joined in chorus to sing their psalm of love.”<\/p>\n

OUR VINEYEARDS<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”15″ down=”0″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”16″ down=”0″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The COLLE<\/strong> vineyards – Casa<\/strong>, Matrichese<\/strong> and Bosco<\/strong> \u2013 were planted in 1972 and span across three hectares of land, facing north-east at an eleveation of about 480 metres asl.
\nCasa and Matrichese were replanted in 1985, after the notorious frost that also destroyed centuries-old olive trees throughout Italy. On the other hand, the Bosco vineyard has managed to overcome that year\u2019s extremely cold temperatures, protected by the vigorous surrounding vegetation.<\/p>\n

The disintegration of a sandstone massif is the main component of this area, along with a scarce presence of clay. Limestone and alberese insertions make for the skeletal grain found in most of these vineyards. The soil composition is reflected in all of the wines coming from here, endowed with distinctive minerality and elegance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The CASTELNUOVO<\/strong> vineyards – Ponte<\/strong>, Pozzi<\/strong> and Ciliegio<\/strong> – were planted in 1998 and cover five hectares of land, facing south-east at an elevation of about 230 metres asl.<\/p>\n

The clay component is king in here. Heavy clays are somewhat mitigated by the presence of tuff, a peculiar feature of the Mount Amiata massif, while most of the skeletal grain consists of alluvial deposits, which are consistently encountered in the lower part of the land and tend to decrease in the upper portion of the ridge. The wines that come from this area are very muscular, powerful and concentrated.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”center” video=”” padding_bottom=”160″ css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_separator type=”small” position=”center” color=”#b7b7b7″ border_style=”solid” width=”500″ up=”0″ down=”40″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

OUR VATS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”22″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Nowadays, making wine in a completely natural way requires constant temperature control, as global warming has indisputably increased the sugar content of grapes. A suitable temperature is an essential prerequisite for yeasts to trigger the fermentation process, a process that will take quite a long time before they run out of sugars to be transformed. Ideally, it should take place in an environment as little stressful as possible. For this reason, I only use stainless steel vats equipped with a thermo-conditioned outer layer. These vats act very gently on the must, allowing us not to exceed 28\u00b0 even at the peak of alcoholic fermentation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”34″ down=”0″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2090″ img_size=”full” eltd_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”34″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

OUR BARRELS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”22″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]My choice is to make exclusive use of large barrels of fine Slavonian Oak, made by the best artisan coopers with carefully selected woods, rigorously folded on fire and slightly toasted. We have both round and oval barells with a capacity of 30 up to 50 hectoliters, in which the wine can safely age for a long time and still be able to express the peculiar characteristics of each vintage, without being overwhelmed by the scent of wood.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”34″ down=”0″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2096″ img_size=”full” eltd_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”34″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

OUR CORKS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”22″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]An excellent quality cork is really worth the money. I am lucky enough to avail myself of experienced craftsmen who make exclusive use of corks of at least 13 years of age, whose density is above the average. They select their crus in highly suitable areas, almost exclusively upon south-facing hills. The processing is still done manually, cutting in squares to make the most of the wood\u2019s properties. The final quality control system is analytical and very scrupulous. The print is strictly fire branded.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”34″ down=”0″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
