The Land
We watch over a singular land with dedication and a pursuit of excellence, to create wines that speak of its most authentic identity and its extraordinary complexity.
Vision and mission
Listening to Bolgheri, giving voice to its land
Bolgheri is not a uniform land but a mosaic of soils, altitudes and microclimates that shift from the sea to the hills. It is in this variety that its truest soul lies, and our mission was born of the desire to listen to it.
Guided by the studies carried out across this land, we chose some of the highest vineyards in the appellation, where altitude and the Tyrrhenian breeze give the wines freshness, tension and a rare lightness of touch. Here we interpret Bolgheri far from any stereotype, seeking elegance before power.
Every choice we make, from reading the soils to ageing in barriques, pursues a single desire: to translate the place into the glass and to give back the truest identity of this land.
Appellation
Bolgheri, a signature the world recognises
In only a few decades, the Bolgheri appellation has established itself among the great names of wine worldwide. To carry Bolgheri on the label means safeguarding an unrepeatable place and the promise of a recognised excellence.
A land destined for great wines
Bolgheri owes its greatness to a rare balance between the sea and the hills. A ridge of high ground runs parallel to the coast, sheltering the vineyards from the rigours of winter, while in summer the great mass of the Tyrrhenian and the rivers that bound the area temper the heat and carry the grapes towards a ripeness that is always full and even.
It is a climate that places Bolgheri alongside the most gifted wine regions in the world. What makes this land unique above all is the extraordinary variety of its soils: a zoning study by the University of Milan identified twenty-seven different types, gathered into sixteen landscape units. From sands to clays, each soil lends the wine an unrepeatable character, and it is in this diversity that the complexity and depth of the great wines of Bolgheri are born.
Location and land
Where the sea meets the hills
Our vines lie across the hills of Bolgheri, between 80 and 235 metres above sea level, on the slopes that rise from the Tyrrhenian Sea towards the Colline Metallifere. Here the sea breeze blows constantly, and the nearby woodland and Mediterranean scrub shape a fresh, luminous microclimate. Above it all watches the Torre di Donoratico, a sentinel of stone and a symbol of this land.
Environmental Commitment
We safeguard a living ecosystem
For us the vineyard is an ecosystem to listen to and to protect. Every year we study the wild flora and the insects that inhabit it, to read its biodiversity and to farm with the least possible impact on the land.
