A forty-five hectare family-owned property on the alluvial terraces of the Bravone, in an ideal microclimate between the sea and the mountains…

Very natural choices for a patrimonial terroir:

- a choice: being a winemaker and an independent winemaker at that; from vinification to bottling, everything takes place here, in the domaine’s wineries.

- a choice: practising sustainable agriculture and mastering the yield for vines that are pruned short, trained along the ground and disbudded by hand.

- a choice: organic amendments and the wastewater treatment system ... as you can see, herbicides are more feared than grass!

- a choice: the rigor of winemaking, and the exclusive use of native yeasts, selected for pure flavours…

 

Choices that will provide very personal wines, marked by their minerality and the characteristic grape varieties of the region: Vermentinu, Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, and the oldest: Biancu Gentile and Minustellu
