   In the cellar we will take into consideration the basic concepts for a quality wine making, analyzing the chemical, physical and microbiological details of our wines, during all the main steps of the process from grape to wine: stemming-crushing, alcoholic fermentation, maceration, malolatic fermentation, racking off, stabilizing, bottling and refinement.

   In our equipped tasting room we will taste 4 of our organic wines, all typical of the area, in order to understand all the sensorial notes with the help of our eyes, nose and palate. A triumph of perceptions to exalt what we love most about wine: the complex world of emotions.
