Tree wine cultivation

Our wines come exclusively from old vineyards supported by chestnut posts. The growth system typical of the Vesuvius area ensures greater balance of the plant. Thanks to the advanced age of some vines and the viticulture system used, the grapes have withstood the weather conditions without suffering, making each vintage different from the previous one.

Handcrafted processes
Thanks to our equipment, the wines are completely handcrafted in all vegetative phases. From interfilament ploughing to pruning, from dusting of the branches to the harvest.

Aging
We use small and medium-sized steel vats and avoid aging in wooden barrels. These immediately give the wine the woody taste that tends to obscure the sensory peculiarities of the product. The taste of our wine is determined exclusively by the typical biodiversity of Vesuvius in which the vines are embedded. After 08 – 10 months, during which the wine is stabilized and clarified naturally, the manual bottling takes place and then the aging phase.

No use of chemical fertilizers
We use only traditional methods with treatments based on marginal mash. We do not use systematic products that act on the lymphatic system of the vines.

We fertilize exclusively with organic fertilizers from organic farming and fertilize on a nitrogen basis with the practice of green manure.

No to the addition of synthetic yeasts
To obtain an excellent product, even in this case we simply use the natural yeasts already present in nature on the skin of the grapes.

The yeasts selected in the laboratory that large companies use in winemaking tend to advance fermentation by halving the sensory qualities and their complexity.
