Description
The rediscovery of Timorasso has as its cornerstone the extreme research in the vineyard with the aim of obtaining intact and highly concentrated grapes. This choice is mandatory in this grape has always been difficult to manage, must be treated with special care as regards the management of vegetation and the yield per plant.
The Timorasso can give amazing potential and is rich in aromatic norisoprenoids or perfumes that are already in the grapes but which are expressed in their entirety in white wines age. The great structure and acidity to exalt important mineral tones in the unusual Italian whites.

Our vineyards enjoy a favourable microclimate as they are located close to the Apennines overlooking the Po Valley and influenced by the proximity of the sea, which is only 60 km away as the crow flies. We define our method of cultivation as common sense agriculture, without the use of pesticides, with pruning and leafing that respects the vines.
