STEFANO AMERIGHI

To achieve this goal, a closed area of ​​Cortona has been identified (il CHIUSO is the most qualitative horticultural system for Cortona viticulture) named POGGIOBELLO di Farneta and inside it, as were a Cru, two well-exposed hills south, South-west, enclosed between an old western road, a south grove and the ridge of the hills to the east to close the horizon. The company covers a total area of ​​approximately 14 hectares, of which 8.5 were destined to the vineyard.

From the 7,000 vines that compose every hectare, are got about 40 quintals of grapes, for a production plant that does not exceed 600 grams. The management of the vineyard follows the dictates of natural viticulture and biodynamic agriculture: ground pruning and machining are scanned by lunar and planetary phases; Phytosanitary defense is entrusted to copper and sulfur only in small quantities thanks to the use of macerates and natural herbs; Biodynamic preparations allow you to nourish the earth and avoid any fertilization and winter overcoats to structure the soil during the cold season. All this in order to bring healthy cluster to maturation and to allow for vinification with the total absence of remedies and chemicals.
