Our estate is located in the countryside of the Roman province, in Zagarolo , an ancient village 35 km from the capital. Our vineyards are located on the slopes of what 600,000 years ago was the Great Lazio Volcano .

We are halfway between the Castelli Romani (crater of the volcano) and the Prenestini Mountains. The last eruption of the volcano, which occurred 20,000 years ago, produced a lava flow that reached where our farmhouse stands today and where our vineyards have their roots.

Our soil is of volcanic origin , has an intense brown color and favors the cultivation of white grapes (historically produced), but also red grapes (less usual for the area). The black earth gives the wine great acidity and perfect pH for sparkling wine. It also favors excellent polyphenolic maturation, necessary for reds and macerated wines.

In the vineyard we have been working organically since 2017 and recently we have been moving towards biodynamics, giving the soil preparation 500 (a myriad of good bacteria present in very high quality manure, which promote the increase of organic substance).

We harvest our grapes by hand after careful selection and we follow our musts every day that ferment spontaneously thanks to the indigenous yeasts present on the grapes, without being assisted by the selected yeast. In recent years we have found that making the indigenous yeasts work enhances our wines and is the most authentic recipe to give character and uniqueness to our wines. The fermentation of the musts will therefore depend on the work done in the vineyard, on the healthy and beautiful grapes that we bring to the cellar during the harvest and on the progress of the season. The wine will therefore be a synthesis of the work of an entire year and we intervene as little as possible.
