About
The winery, built by our parents and our uncle, is now led by my sister Chiara and me.
In 2001 our parents and our uncle decided to make their dream come true: they gave everything up to devote themselves to country life and wine.
Thanks to the experience gained in the energy sector, they design one of the most technologically advanced wineries in Europe and decide to settle it in Bastardo, our father's hometown.
The choice is not accidental: in 1312 already the urban land register certifies the millennial wine vocation of the territory, along the "route" of the Antica Flaminia, where - it is said – there was tavern who served a "sweet and fragrant" wine to people who traveledbetween Rome northern Europe.
The winery is surrounded by 30 hectares of vineyards - planted with Sagrantino, Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet - and by numerous medieval castles still intact and inhabited that draw a unique landscape scenario.
If we had to describe our company in just three words, we would choose technology, genius and sustainability.
Thanks to technology, we are able to minimize the use of chemistry both in the vineyard and in the cellar: the result is high quality wines with a minimum content of sulphites, which do not bother the head or stomach. Alongside technology, there is still an important manual work: the harvest is manual, as well as the working of the soil around the vines and the selection of grapes on vibrating tables, first of the bunches and then of the berries.
In our opinion the DOC / DOCG specification does not fully exploit the extraordinary characteristics of Sagrantino; therefore, we immediately experimented with different solutions to obtain softer and more fragrant wines.
Then came the intuition, based on ancient popular beliefs, to obtain health products based on Sagrantino grapes. Scientific research conducted together with the University of Florence has shown that Sagrantino is the grape richest in sugars and antioxidants among the main known grape varieties, and that our juice and our grape jam have a much higher antioxidant content. to that of other similar products.
Our goal is to become a sustainable company for the environment, transforming Sagrantino production waste into healthy products.
Our flagship product remains the Rossobastardo: Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet and Sagrantino Passito, soft and fragrant IGT.
