From this winery
igneto San Vito is located in the Colli Bolognesi, in the hamlet of Oliveto, at an altitude of 200 metres. There is ancient evidence of quality wines on this hill, dating back to medieval charters with the Abbey of Nonantola.
San Vito has been producing wine for some 50 years. Ever since my wife Carola and I took over in 2005, we have been committed to enhancing the typical wines of this area: we wanted to produce wines that were a strong expression of our terroir, that were distinguishable and not standardised.
We believe that biodynamic agriculture makes it possible to produce more original wines, more representative of the place where the vine is grown, thanks to its ability to revitalise the soil, stimulate the plants and produce fruit with a strong link to the terroir. The vines are not fertilised or irrigated, but the natural humus of a land that is alive again is obtained in a sustainable manner, through the rediscovery of ancient techniques.
The same approach is used in the cellar so as not to lose this heritage during the winemaking process. Fermentations are spontaneous with only indigenous yeasts without the use of selected ones, and the wines are not clarified or filtered. We believe that the metamorphosis from grape to wine must take place as naturally as possible, accepting the margin of unpredictability that this entails, and the different character that each vintage imparts.
More than a profession of faith or a marketing strategy, for us this is a choice of taste and a way of really feeling part of these places.
We think that the farm should tend towards the closed cycle, above all to establish an energy balance, strengthen the synergy between different crops and obtain as much biodiversity as possible. Read more
