Winery history

Production philosophy
Passion and innovation, respect for the land and grapes. The estate often makes experimental yet drinkable wines: “to make the wine that I like first of all, a wine for the drinker.” Organic practices are used for some labels, including Back to Basics.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Barbara (province of Ancona), Marche. Vineyards on hills around 260 m a.s.l.; clayey soils, northwest exposure. Appellation: Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi (DOC).
