Gentili ed appassionati

Ci siamo trovati molto bene, le signore che ci hanno accompagnato nella visita sono state gentilissime e capaci ti trasmettere tutta la passione che mettono nel loro vino e che hanno per la storia della loro tenuta. L' assaggio é stato accompagnato da buonissimi stuzzichini e da un attento racconto della storia di ognuno dei vini assaggiati. La visita al castello molto originale e permette di assaporare un pezzo di storia. Davvero una bellissima esperienza.

About Winery and Wines

The family farm was born in 2004 and consists of a real estate of about 12 hectares in the Apennine hills of the Scrivia valley. Originally, its activities included breeding horses and small farm animals, haymaking, and the experimental cultivation of special essences such as saffron. Subsequently, after taking over vineyards in an area exceptionally suited for wine-making, Lucesio, Giovanna and their children decided to combine the agricultural profile that has traditionally had an important part in the family history, with the expertise skilfully preserved by the winemakers of Rocca Grimalda. The result has been a small enterprise that aims to relaunch and develop a local wine of quality.

Taking into account that the landscape is a substantial part of wine making, we have preferred to recover old farm vineyards that still retain such typical characteristics of biodiversity (wine varieties coming from different selections) as to give the wine its specific quality. The cultural practices are dictated by the pursuit of the greatest respect and harmony with nature: limited use of tractors, no trimming of vines in summer, organic fertilization using green manure, aeration of the soil, respect of cosmic calendars, use of biodynamic treatments, grape harvesting by hand etc. The quantity produced is still small. It consists of two types of Dolcetto CRU coming from areas famous for the high quality of the “terroirs” named Trionzo and Bernarda, and a wine that is fermented with the stalks of the grapes and therefore still pressed by feet, and aged for a long time, like it was done in the past.
