About Winery and Wines

The unique and recognisable style of our wines originates in the Marche region, in a town: Belvedere Ostrense, on the hills overlooking the sea at 250 meters above sea level, North of Jesi in the province of Ancona. For centuries the vines have been growing in abundance in this environment, because of the many hours of sunshine, alternated by cool nights and sea breezes that mitigate the bad weather of the colder months. This ideal climate is combined with a great vocation and the variation of the earth, from the loose and limy soil ideal for red berries vines to the clay and of medium consistency ones suitable for the white berries vines. We only add one thing to these favourable conditions in order to produce our wines, the passion that has always more and more involved us during these years of experience during which we have improved our vine cultivation and wine enology techniques. The company was founded in the fifties by Sergio Landi who owned 4 hectares of land cultivating the typical vines of this area such as the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and the Lacrima di Morro d'Alba, which was very much appreciated for its qualities by Federico Barbarossa in 1167. Nowadays the grandson Luciano manages the company, which covers a territory of 20 hectares, of which 16 hectares with vines. From traditional vine growing, we expanded thanks to new techniques, with 5.500 plants per ha cultivated by spurred cordon with a production of about 1,5 Kg. of grapes per vine. After the new cantina, built in 1994 for the production of wine, an underground cellar was created for the 'l'elevage' of wines in vintage wood and then ageing in the bottle. The whole production process is managed with great attention in order to best enhance the potential of each grape of each harvest and to give our wines character traits of style and quality.
