wine cellar
the rites of nature and man
In the wine cellar, avant-garde technology is combined with the best in wine-making tradition
When producing wine, there are acts which have been repeated for centuries, acquired and assimilated but which have become neither automatic nor casual.
Every step, every decision follows a calendar of ‘rites’ influenced by the course of nature: the pressing, the racking, the ageing in barrels…
Every step dictated by a genuine search for quality and the fullness of a good wine.
The pleasure of smelling a cork steeped in the aromas of a superior wine repays all the hard work and care replaced in the waiting and preparation of this prophetic ‘moment of truth’…
The entire wine-making process takes place at our winery in Motta di Livenza:
pressing of the grapes, their maceration, controlled-temperature vinification, spumantization - which is even extreme given the long time it stays on the lees - aging, which we like to call a “long rest” in barriques and tonneaus and the final transfer to bottles.
