The Winery

The origins
The winery was founded in the early twentieth century by a family bound to these hills. Since then we have tended the same vineyards, convinced that great wine is born first in the field: low yields, hand harvest, patient ageing.

Marco Silvestri
Winemaker
Winemaker since 2015, after stints in Burgundy and Alto Adige. Spontaneous fermentations, large casks and as little intervention as possible.

Luca Ferretti
Vineyard manager
He coordinates the harvest crew and the year-round work among the rows: pruning, mowing, picking in small crates parcel by parcel.
