Between Apiro and Cupramontana, right at the heart of the lands of Verdicchio, we have been devoting our utmost care to our vines for generations. We strive to make true wines, telling the story of our wonderful land and, to some extent, of us personally, of our passion, and of our determination, by which we have made so many sacrifices and a few privations to go on and always try to get the best from our ten hectares of vineyards. We have made it, at last, or so it seems. Critics praise us and our products are included in the wine-list of several important restaurants.

But there is still a long way to go, as we know. This is why we make one small step ahead every year, as Verdicchio, the world’s greatest white grape, demands.

Story The name "Vigna Il Cantico della Figura": from 2016 the term Vigna is added to make explicit that the wine is in Cru. While the name "Il Cantico della Figura" is seen as a composition of: "Il Cantico" and "della Figura". "La Figura" refers to the church of Apiro dedicated to the Madona della Misericordia, also called the Church of the Figure, because in Apiro, but not only, the small sanctuaries or votive niches containing small statues or frescoes of the Virgin Mary or other saints are called "figures" or "figurines". The Church of the Figure for the citizens of Apiro is a centre of devotion, visited in search of protection and help. So the name is a small tribute to the icon of our splendid territories. While "Il Cantico" is the element that links "La Figura" to the vineyard of St. Francis, being "Il Cantico delle Ceature" the most famous prayer of St. Francis ...Fratello Sole ... Sister Moon.
