WINERY
The 9 Hectares vineyard, is included in the area of the Designation of Origin of the Colli del Trasimeno, a terroir particularly suited to wine production since the time of the Etruscans, thanks to the the favorable microclimate of the lake.
The farm has been run, since 1961, by Margret Etten Cantarelli and now by Sabina, her daughter, who carries on with Pier a job that has always passionate the whole family.
An excellent team of people works on the farm all year round: we avoid using external labour.
The small, but very welcoming winery is always open to those who want to know and taste the wines produced. We organize, by reservation, guided tastings by Sofia, Tiziana or Sabina for small groups: they include a visit to the vineyard, production and tasting of all our wines and oil.
VINEYARD
We pay great attention to the environment in which we operate, through organic farming and environmentally friendly agricultural practices; we only use grapes from our own production. The vineyards are arranged in a “single body”, that is adjacent to each other, and are located all around the house and the cellars.
The breeding system is traditional espalier, “guyot” or “spur cordon” pruned, depending on the variety. Yields per hectare are about 50/60 quintals.
The thinning of the bunches is carried out with the aim of reducing the yield per strain and rebalancing the vegetative and productive development. The grassing of the inter-rows as soil management has always been carried out with the aim of reducing erosion and to encourage biodiversity.
The subrow is worked, following the principles of organic farming. Our grapes are harvested by hand and we also tie and prune by hand.
