We are Anna and Leonardo, agricultural experts and graduates in agriculture. Anna grew up in Scandicci observing the greenery that surrounded her and intrigued her, Leonardo, in Borgo San Lorenzo in Mugello, grew up among the vegetable garden and the animals of his father and uncles, who had marked something in him since adolescence. The university path brought them together. The idea took its first steps in 2012 after a long experience of both in buying groups. There was the desire to reproduce that convivial moment when a relative or friend gives you the products from their garden. After a long and convoluted search for arable land, the farm L’orto del Neighbor was born in January 2014. The company is based in Borgo San Lorenzo and extends over 2 hectares just outside the town where we grow vegetables that are sold directly on the farm. In our opinion, this was the opportunity to enter the world of agriculture and its dynamics. The wine, the vineyard, its rhythms and the possibility of experimenting were perhaps what intrigued us most. In 2016 we rent a small vineyard of 3000 m2 of 40 years in the municipality of Scarperia and San Piero at risk of abandonment. In the following years, two other small old vineyards are added, bringing the vineyard area to almost one hectare. We have followed the techniques of organic farming from the very beginning and after pleasant and stimulating meetings we have married the methods and techniques of biodynamic agriculture since 2015. Our company carries out treatments based on copper, sulfur and rarely some natural insecticide in cases of extreme necessity. Weeding is exclusively manual and mechanical. Fertilization is based on the use of composted manure and the practice of green manure in rotation. We do not plow but we use a cultivator to aerate the land, because we are convinced that a balance must be sought between the agricultural activity of man and the rest of living beings, without impoverishing our land. In the cellar we work according to the rhythms we feel, letting ourselves be guided by the sensations that the wines seem to transmit to us. Our wines ferment spontaneously, we do not filter, we do not clarify and we do not use enological oddities. We do not use sulfur in winemaking, rarely during racking or bottling. Our wines result after six months of bottling with undetectable total sulfur levels. They bear the name "Terra Bassa", precisely because the land is low and in homage to all the farmers who, with dedication, love and synergy, dedicate their lives to reap the best fruits from our mother earth, respecting and loving it. Every year we produce a macerated white, a macerated rosé, a red and a refermented from varieties attributable to old clones of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino but we also find cabernet and merlot while among the whites we have the Tuscan, local and Romagna Trebbiano, Malvasia and Albana and many other forgotten vines that have fallen into disuse that every year tell a different story in our wines.
