During a time when the economy is based on the information technology, the beaucracy and the automation, there are still people that know what it means to hoe a vineyard or “perceive” the needs of a plant which is growing. It is not for waste to the modern lifestyle but for Marco and Adele it is simply their way of life. For more than 60 years, they have been cultivating their 4 hectares of vineyards – moving with the nature, like they have always done, taking care of every plant in every yearly season has the right type of attention, respecting the environment and the products.
This means that from the beginning of the cultivation, we try to use products which are not chemically treated preferring to use natural manure, tools to cut the grass and the poltiglia bordolese as a base to cure various pathologies (used also in biology). The limitation of quantity produced gives a better grape and avoid the attrition of a plant which also results to be stronger.
During the production we use barrels with thermo-regulation and recently we introduced a rotofermentatore, an horizontal container with a shovel inside to keep the must in movement substituting the manual follature. The fermentation takes place without adding external yeasts, in order to express the best of its territorial origin.
Marco and Adele have two daughters: Marina, Primary School Teacher at the School of La Morra and Nadia, who after years of working in an external company, recently decided to give a hand to her parents to increase the family business, beginning from a more open and customer oriented communication.
An important support comes from Elio Altare, Adele’s brother, who gives a helping hand with his utmost experience, looking at a production which leads to only quality. |
