Organic grapes

Besides olive oil we produce wine from organically grown grapes. We have a hectare (over two acres) of vine. Vine needs a lot of care over the whole year but it is a very rewarding job.  The harvest is a special event, its time can vary from the late September until the end of October, depending on the weather throughout the year.  When the sugar level is right, the grapes are hand picked and taken down to the cantina when the wine process begins.

In 2008 we completely  replanted our vineyard with Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Cabernet, Grecchetto and Chardonnay grapes. We chose these species based on the soil composition, climate, and the flavor of the grapes.  Wine made from the first year’s harvest is promising.
