".nature should be observed, heard, understood, not dominated."


We constantly search for the best balance between the processes inherent in nature and work done by man in the vineyard, without resorting to the use of chemicals or forced stablization in the winery. These technologies render wine that is "drinkable" immediately, but falsify the true flavor of the fruit. We intend to make wine that tastes like the land of its provenance, always following the guiding principle of assisting nature without overpowering it. Winemakers who don't abide by this doctrine offer nothing but an illusion in the end. Every day, Each season we: - listen to our agricultural heritage - observe nature, - follow the lunar cycle, Our goal is to find the best possible marriage of modernity and tradition. In this era of globalization, unfortunately, not everything can be done this way. In order for humans to avoid the fatal mistake of destroying their own identities, the true triumph over globalization will be the simple fact of respecting and maintaining diversity, be it diversity of races, culture, or agriculture. Humans are purveyors of culture.The culture of gastronomy issues from the same source as all the arts, the fruit of that culture being our food, our sustenance. Each place has unique traditions, with specific tastes and specific uses. Now when we talk about taste, what do we really mean? Each time we eat an artisinal food, we pluck a tiny fragment, analyze it, and most importantly, taste it. In this simple act we can discern the unique flavor of the place where it was made, which is irreplicable. Produce is born of what nourishes it. The flavor of every food comes directly from the native climate, combined with the minerality, structure and composition of the soil. "Terroir" encompasses all senosory information surrounding the place the food was produced. In order to preserve this simple, yet precious result, we observe, discover and attempt to understand nature, not dominate it. In the last 150 years, agriculture has undergone a fundamental change. Industrialization has reduced the toil of peasants in the countryside, but has also destroyed our culinary patrimony. However, there is a positive aspect to this, namely our renewed respect for the dignity of farmers and for agriculture. Today, it is crucial that we find the just balance between the environment, technology and science. We are convinced that it is possible for modernity and tradition to coexist, but one should not prevail over the other. Every seaon we: - keep copious records in order to better understand our land and the rhythms of nature; - aim to keep treatment of the vines to an absolute minimum; - entrust to nature the responsibility of converting the grapes to wine; - try our best to avoid mans work in the vineyard subordinating the work of nature. To summarize, our philosophy is this: - respecting nature, contributing our labor in order to maintain the flora and fauna at work in the soil, allowing the earth to impart its flavor to the grapes; - preserve the knowledge of the land, rejecting the use of chemicals in the vineyard and in the winery; - waiting for nature to complete its cycle, not rushing it, thereby avoiding the use of artificial accelerators. - obtaining a final product that is both pure and healthy.
