15
hectares out the 50 owned by the farm produce the typical D.O.C.
wines of Romagna, in the traditional "renewal spur": Sangiovese,
Albana, Cagnina. Cabernet-Sauvignon and Chardonnay are also produced.
Cherries are grown on about 11 hectares of the farm, following a
tradition of our zone.
The use of synthesis products has been
strongly reduced, privileging the integrated fight. This is possible
thanks also to the particular hilly microclimate, that does not
favour the peronospera's assaults as in plain, allowing therefore
a limited use of chemical treatments.
The grapes are harvested by hand and the bunches carefully selected:
this means that only the best grapes reach the cellar; the controlling
of temperatures, of wine-pressing and of the maceration times lead
to wines of good structure, with pleasant flavours and rich tannic
impressions. Finally the maturation phase takes place in traditional
wooden casks.
