Our Farm
The company was started
in 1970.
In 1987 Claudio discovers organic farming and from then on
excludes chemical products from all cultivation.
Our land is in Italy, in the region of Latium, on the slopes of
the Cimini Mountains.
The soil is of volcanic origin and the climate is mild and
temperate. Asmall river winds its way from lake Vico to the Tiber
passing our farm.
The total farming surface amounts to 55 hectares, 30 of which for
the vineyard, 14 for the growing of hazelnuts and 1,5 hectares
for the growing of olives. The rest is wood and pasture. The
vineyard counts 34 years, the hazel grove 25 years and the olive
grove only 12 because it was destroyed by frost in 1995.
All our products are produced within our company using only
natural methods. All our equipment, including the soil working
machines, are used exclusively for biodynamic agriculture and
processing.
A lot of animals live freely on our land (cows, sheep, goats,
bees, donkeys, dogs, cats, chicken and a lot of other wild
species). These animals are not bred but live together with the
plants and provide them with the necessary nutrition.
There are 5 people working in the company and another 10 help out
during the harvest and whenever the workload requires additional
hands. We have no fixed work schedule. Our days are structured by
our work and the climate.
We also have a series of archaeological remains on our land,
which date back to the second century B.C., to the tribe of the
Faliscans, as our land is right next to the ancient settlement of
Faleri Novi.
