When each vine and each bottle brings the memory of your imprint, then wines not only get a sense of place but they also somehow resemble their producer, which in this case is a four-handed alchemy.

Complexity resulting from the age of vines and from the different varieties that were planted together in the same vineyards, is not simplified and macerations on the skins of red grapes are very long, but trying not to lose wine spontaneity. The ageing is always on total yeast lees to increase the complexity and stability of wines in a natural way. Naturally present acidity of Barbera and Timorasso is not concealed, malolactic fermentations in white wines are not arrested but neither they are promoted. Minerality and freshness are jealously preserved by pressing only whole bunches of white grapes, avoiding the destemming process. We love the influence concrete tanks have on our wines. Alcoholic fermentations are spontaneous most of the times, only sulphites are added to the wine but only in small amounts.
