OUR PHILOSOPHY
For us, making wine is not just work, but it is passion and philosophy of life: it is transforming a bunch of grapes into a substance with a complex and changing “soul” into a liquid that expresses nature in its various visual, aromatic facets and gustatory.

We prefer to call ourselves winemakers and not wine producers, to make a good Vermentino it is not enough to have an excellent grape and the best winemaking techniques, but you need passion, dedication and a touch of magic.
“Choose the job you love and you won’t work even one day in your whole life” (Confucius)
This is the secret to making an excellent Vermentino, making it with passion.

TRADITIONS
Our philosophy in making wine is to preserve the authenticity of Vermentino without distorting the characteristics of the vine, keeping alive the traditions of the Ligurian Wine of the Colli di Luni but with an eye to the future.
“Tradition does not consist in keeping the ashes but in keeping the flame alive” (Jean Leon Jaurés)
Here in Liguria in the splendid Luni Hills we planted much more than just roots, here we have decided to build our future
VINEYARDS
Our treasure The vineyards are located on the Luni Hills, precisely in the last strip of Liguria on the border with Tuscany at a height of about 70 m above sea level and at a distance of about 6 km from the coast.
We do not use herbicides and we use natural fertilizers. The agronomic management of the vineyard is integrated. We try to respect the territory in which we live and the nature that surrounds it.
The harvest is carried out when the balance between sugar and acidity of the grapes is perfect to obtain only wines of the highest quality; it is carried out manually in small crates by making a careful selection of the bunches.
THE LANDS …
… and their value
Drained hilly soils, rich in minerals, clay, brittle rock and Apuan marble give unique characteristics to the wine. Thanks to this rich soil and the microclimate with a strong temperature range, we are able to obtain very long-lived and characteristic wines.
