Also this year we will open for “Cantine Aperte in Vendemmia” (open cellar in harvest). We will start with a walk in the vineyards because for a good wine you need a good grape. It is really important to cultivate the vine respecting it and respecting the environment, which is why we do not use herbicides or pesticide and no chemical fertilizer: and in the vineyard you can see it!
