Azienda Agricola Pascale Francesca

The Winery is located on the first hill of Fosdinovo, also renowned as "Borgo del Buon Vivere", and the vineyard exposure is oriented to north-east and north-west, looking towards the inland valleys of Lunigiana. The soil is clay and rocky, surrounded by gorse, arbutus, heather and oak. The viticulture techniques are based on grassing with clover, beans, barley, with several cuts of 10 cm made in order to increase the number of blooms and to promote the natural biology. This process is made always remaining attentive to all the different stages of the vine growth, that are attended and encouraged with natural treatments and the right exposure and ventilation. Beside new technologies the old best practices are not missing, like the harvest of grapes that is still done manually. The white wine production is made starting with a short maceration of grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and finally the fermentation, with a long stay on leavening for 6 months.
