Winery Pievalta

Pievalta began as a project connected to Barone Pizzini in 2002. The winery was established to showcase Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and has been led from the start by Alessandro Fenino; later, Silvia Loschi joined the project to oversee hospitality and winery visits. Over time the estate expanded its vineyards in the Castelli area and developed an agricultural approach oriented toward organic/biodynamic practices.

Vineyard and cellar work is based on minimal intervention: hand-harvesting, fermentations with indigenous yeasts, use of pied-de-cuve, gentle pressing and low levels of sulfites. In the vineyard the estate practices biodynamics and prioritizes respect for the soil and biodiversity, seeking to bring out the expression of the terroir and of each parcel.

The vineyards are located in the Castelli di Jesi area, with parcels on Monte Schiavo and the slopes of Cupramontana, San Paolo di Jesi, Montecarotto and Maiolati Spontini. Soils are typically clay-limestone and marly, with local occurrences of fossil shells; altitudes and exposures vary among the different parcels, encouraging distinct expressions of Verdicchio.
