Riccardo Brandolini
It was 1997, I was 22 and I was an employee.
The thought of spending the rest of my life behind a desk literally took my breath away.
I was born and raised in the heart of the Oltrepò in whose veins the wine flows, I decided to support my passion and the traditions of my fathers facing the challenge of opening this winery.

Red Wine
According to the exposure of the land, located in Santa Maria della Versa, the company has planted the vineyards in positions facing South East.
The limestone soils allow the wine to assume a greater structure and body in order to obtain a refined product while maintaining the genuine characteristics of the area.
In the Wine Cellar red wines are subjected to a controlled fermentation on the skins, at 20 ° -22 ° for about 10/12 days, in order to extract the aromas, the body and the color.

White Wine
Our white wines are grown in the area of Montecalvo Versiggia, where a very high percentage of Pinot is concentrated with a very pronounced acidity gradient. This peculiarity highlights the aromas and characteristics of the wine, maintaining its persistence even after several months.
Our white wines are vinified by lowering the temperature up to about 5 ° to get more freshness and more aromas, maintaining the acidity.
