Special soil and microclimatic on the steep slopes next to the impressive River Rhine create the ideal environment for complex

and Mediterranean cuisine

Vineyards are organic

They are on a mission to make pure

vines have continuously been flourishing on these hills

and soft this unfiltered sake drinks like it is floating

and the wines are fermented exclusively with wild yeasts

But palates were moving towards more fruit-driven wines that could be consumed shortly after bottling

A marl soil of decomposed seashell deposits and breezes from the Monte Amiata across the valley contribute to a cool microclimate that produces a noticeably Burgundian-style Brunello

Beppe is focused on showcasing the terroir of the Langhe and employs sustainable vineyard and winemaking practices at all times

more balanced wine

The grapes are handpicked and undergo a 7 day cold soak
