From this winery
Our will is to privilege the most ecological solution in our production mode. In a non-dogmatic way, in a total independence and freedom of action, our vineyard team works to produce wines typical of this beautiful scenery.
When you are lucky enough to work in such an idyllic place, the necessity to respect and minimise our impact on the environment becomes natural. But we needed to do better than this. We needed to be an actor of this ecosystem, to be a part of it. In every wine bottle, there is a story. A story that wine can humbly tell, being only the fruit of it. Read more
