"Wine and music have always been a splendid corkscrew for me"
A. Čechov (Notebooks)
Isabella and Cecilia: we are originally from Santa Maria della Versa, where our family has owned the vineyards since the time of the Great War. The vines have threaded through our family's history for generations and have come into our care, though we have pursued life paths far from the hills.
The decision to engage in winemaking only came in 2020, from a fortunate reunion with our friend Fabrizio, a local producer with a long family tradition in the field.
Our goalwas clear: to combine tradition with natural practices in winemaking, honing in on a particularly fascinating aspect of wine—Resveratrol, to "Get More from Wine.." In particular resveratrol, one of the polyphenolic compounds of wine, has been extensively researched in the medical field.
Our efforts have focused on boosting its natural levels in our wines, with a strong emphasis on maintaining high quality. The considerable age of our vineyards, along with refined adaptations of traditional winemaking methods, have been fundamental to our achievements. The results have been very positive, with our choice significantly enhancing the distinctive flavors of our red wines.
Moreover, the scientific research we have studied also confirms that: "the choice of a terroir suited to quality and a viticultural approach in the name of environmental sustainability (which is favored in suitable environments) results in an optimal polyphenolic framework... "The winemaker will have to do nothing but accompany the winemaking process without corrective interventions".(1)
The fascinating story of resveratrol, and some of the main research on the subject is reported in the resveratrol.
And let's always remember to drink responsibly !
