The vineyard is more than 15 hectares in a unique piece of land, and the soil presents an argillaceous-calcareous composition with some tuffaceous veins; it is rich of water thanks to the presence of rich underground stratums, the land is particularly suitable to the vine-growing also because of its exposition, from south east to west.

The vines are reared with the low arch Guyot system with an average density of 4300 stumps per hectar. The medium age of our plants is about 20 years, but some are very young, some are not in production yet; the first harvesting of a new vineyard is just at its third year and for the complete production, you have to wait until the fourth or the fifth year.

The extension of the vineyards is variable, from few hundreds of square metres to more than 15000 square metres. Every vineyard is delimited by a small path that makes the passage from a plant to another easier.

The works related to the rear of the vineyards are: winter prooning, green prooning (the prooning of the leaves, the pinching out) polling and summer thinning. All these works are done manually and need the patience of practised hands, because a great wine is procuced in the vineyard, thanks to a constant care and respect for the nature. We generally practise the grassing over and the treatments against parasites in the maximum respect of the EU rules related to the low environment impact. Finally, the harvest is the most pleasant moment of the year because it contains all the energies and the expectations of a year of hard work and sacrifice.
