About Winery and Wines

Here in Corte Sant’Alda the vineyards reconversion started in 1985, a bit blindly. After a bad harvest, I felt the necessity to do something for having healthy and ripe grapes. In 1986 I planted the first vineyard with a guyot training system: Macie vineyard. The measures were a little bizarre, m 0,90×2,60, but they were a good compromise with pergola. We reached the number of 4.500 plants per hectare without changing all the equipments. In 2003 we reached 6.200 plants per hectare and we unwillingly did the extirpation of the last pergola (Cavallero). But it was time to search for new frontiers, keeping in our mind what we learned in the past. In 2005 we planted Cavallero vineyard, with a guyot of 10.000 plants per hectare, with a cordon highness of cm 50 and with wooden palisade (my pearl!!!). After we went back to the traditional guyot m 2,20×0,80, cordon highness cm 80. This land has been put in my hands and I feel the duty to give it back, when it will be, in an improved state, complete, free, with its own soul.
