wine
Our grapes grow on hillsides that lie about 750 ft. above sea level, on vines that are cultivated on trellises or in the so-called ‘all’alberello alcamese’ fashion, in red and calcareous light clay soil. We green fertilize with wild plants and legumes. My father Antonio has cultivated these vines for twenty-five years according to the principles of organic agriculture. Taking a step back, learning to exercise restraint, to respect the natural equilibrium and to intervene as little as possible. Together, my father and I are learning to do the same with the wine. Year after year, wine after wine. Learning from others, exploring and experimenting, attempting in this as well to be ourselves.
