About Winery and Wines
The productive structure of Baia del Sole is at the cutting edge of its field: the winemaking area is equipped with the latest technology, and the modern isobaric bottling ensures the utmost care in packaging. The new winery which covers 1600 square meters was inaugurated in 2015 and is structured to blend in with the surrounding landscape: it has been designed and built according to the principles of bio-architecture. This winery which complements the other three existing historic structures, represents the wish to reduce environmental impact and maximise energy savings.The architectural features, at the cost of a great economic effort, function to ensure an environment ideal for wine production whilst respecting the environment. For this reason, the structure, despite being only a few hundred meters from the sea, was conceived almost entirely underground, and has adopted strategies and bioclimatic solutions. The unique and particular choice to build below sea level, aims to harness the natural stability of temperature and humidity guaranteed by the constant presence of the underground aquifer. The underground level houses air-conditioned rooms, used as the barrel room which is the heart of the winery. The area is equipped with barrique and tonneau barrels to allow the wines to rest and mature. The technological solutions used in the wine cellar ensure total control over every stage of production. Solar panels, natural cooling systems, shielded electrical systems, and the use of wood, stone and brick facings are just some of the tricks used to make the structure environmentally friendly and well integrated in an area of great environmental and archaeological sensitivity.
The vineyards exude a strong wine producing vocation that covers all of the DOC Colli di Luni region, where the land is rich in structure and of a good texture. This is true even in the Magra river valley where the proximity to the sea ensures a soil with a clay, silt and sand mix. In addition to their own numerous vineyards, there are also valuable collaborations that tie the Federici family to about 70 local vintners. These vintners maintain those farming traditions that focus on the promotion of the indigenous grape varieties and on maintaining those little parcels of land so well suited to viticulture. Different morphologies of land surrounded by beautiful mediterranean vegetation, great exposure to the sun, the range of temperatures, the ongoing ventilation, the proximity of the sea and the unique microclimate which characterises the eastern Liguria region, all create the best prerequisites for high quality wine production and guarantee wines of a remarkable sensory and olfactory complexity.
