Margherita Barberotti, Valentina Melani

3 5 9300 KM

Cian Cianin was born in 2018 from a very strong and romantically naive inspiration of the two owners of the company Margherita Barberotti and Valentina Melani. The name "Cian Cianin" literally means both slowly and little plain in Ligurian dialect and represents a perfect summary of our company philosophy. The very nature of our territory invites us to slow agronomic practices, manual work, recovery of abandoned land and teaches us patience and perseverance. The project was born in Riomaggiore, within the 5 Terre National Park, where we own small family lands and look after Bosco, Albarola, Vermentino and native red grape vines. The CONTATTO and VELIA wines are born in these lands. Currently the production part is around 4500m2 divided into 6 different areas. We started with just 100m2 with the aim of reaching 1 hectare. In 2022 we took over management of a vineyard with cellar in the hilly area of La Spezia, in the Colli di Luni DOC, thus adding another 4000m2 of a polyclonal selection of Vermentino to the company surface area. Here AUT AUT is born, our pure Vermentino. Always convinced that an ethical approach to the territory is the only way to arrive at a sincere product that can tell the story of its place of origin, we decided from the beginning to practice organic farming, and then after a year to move on to the biodynamic one. Manual soil tillage, green manure, grassing, application of biodynamic preparations and production of earthworm humus are the main practices we use. In the vineyard we only use copper and sulfur with non-systemic products, in addition to these, if necessary we use bitter orange essential oil, propolis, zeolite and bacteria antagonistic to the main pathogens. In the cellar, after the manual harvest, our grapes are processed simply: manual destemming on small grates or soft pressing with the feet. We do not use selected yeasts, we do not control the temperature, we do not filter or clarify. If necessary, add a small amount of sulphur.
