Since the early 2010’s, Angelo has taken the estate that was, of course, until the eighties a poly-cultural farm using conventional systemic viticulture, then moving towards an almost monocultural farm, back to a more diverse farming culture concentrating on biodynamic techniques. The estate is now almost 40 hectares of vines, vineyards, olive trees, forest and natural truffle production. About 20 of these hectares are now planted in traditional grape varieties of the region – Trebbiano Spoletino, Grechetto, Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Sagrantino – the oldest of which are more than 40 years old. The vines have been certified organic by Ecocert since 2013, and since then only the use of sulfur and limited copper are applied on the vines. The planting of soveccia - legumes, grains and other nitrogen-rich, complex-rooted plants that open the soil and add nutrients have also become the norm. More recently, Angelo with his wife Letizia have begun working the farm completely in biodynamic techniques, seeking quality grapes over quantity production. They are fully satisfied with the results and now make the wines without the addition of sulfur or any other enological products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vinifications range from stainless steel with and without temperature control to aging in barrels or demi-muid, often for many years before release.
