Terroir
“Here, where the secular crops of the grapevines and the olive trees left their mark on the history of agricultural works and landscape. Here. where the grapevines meet life. Here, where we cultivate excellence and produce unique wines”
The hill and the soil
The Vitalonga hill softly declines from 450 m. to 350 m. over the sea level. The soil is of sedimentary origin: arenous and argicellaous, rich on fossils from the Pliocene age.
Climate and exposure
The microclimate is of Mediterranean nature: summers are warm with fresh nights and generally dry, while winters are not too cold with sporadic snowy episodes.
The hill enjoys good exposure to the sun and the breeze, the latter blows frequently along the rows, discouraging the onset of molds and parasites, and allowing for very low intervention. The rows are oriented to grant the grapes the best exposure to the sun.

The Vineyards
The great native vines (Montepulciano and Sangiovese) alternate with great international vines (Merlot and Cabernet).
Each vineyard has its own character, its own peculiar note: soil, exposure, height, presence of trees, ventilation, nonetheless, the environment's essential characteristics are unchanged.
The experience
The experience, the knowledge of each clod, the continuous attention paid to each vine, allow us to produce extraordinary grapes.
