Cantina e Vini

In 2001 our parents and our uncle decide to realize the dream of many: to abandon everything. to devote himself to country life and wine. Thanks to the experience gained in the energy sector they design one of the most technologically advanced in Europe and decided to settle it in Bastardo, our father's hometown. The choice is not accidental: already in 1312 the urban land register certifies the millenary wine-growing and wine-making vocation of the territory, along the "route" (Signæ) of the Antica Flaminia, where - it is said - lived a landlord who served an sweet and fragrant" wine to the people who travelled between Rome and northern Europe. The winery is surrounded from 30 hectares of vineyards - cultivated with Sagrantino, Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet - and numerous castles medieval still intact and inhabited that draw a unique landscape scenery. If we had to tell Signæ 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 are high quality natural wines with a minimum content of sulphites, which do not bother the head, nor to the stomach.

The Winery owns 55 hectares (136 acres) of land, of which 30 hectares (74 acres) under vines: Sagrantino, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet, Sauvignon and Grechetto. Being the Tiberino Lake basin, the soil has lacustrine origin: this makes it particularly suitable for growing grapes, especially Sagrantino. The company mission is to offer high quality products respecting both the authentic Umbrian tradition and the environment. Thanks to technology and georeferentiation and the study of meteorologic variation, we are able to avoid the abuse of chemicals: the product we obtain is natural, beyond any certification. Each season we undertake three or four mechanical process to the soil to keep the vineyard clean and, around the vine we finish cleaning with the hand-hoe. Grapes are manually harvested in small baskets containing max. 30 kilos: this to avoid crushing them, which could lead to pre-fermentation.
