A historic settlement in the upper Val Squaranto. A green land rich in biodiversity, history and passion. A cradle of nature, 350 metres above sea level. Its three hectares of vineyards, tended exclusively with organic growing methods, are home to the precious grapes used in making the very noblest of Valpolicella wines. A finely-balanced composition of woods, meadows and vineyards surrounded by flourishing olive trees. Our respect for the rhythms of nature means we are merely the guardians of this heritage, our actions simply guiding the vines in their natural cycle. The four vineyards of Torre di Terzolan, La Mezzaluna, La Pala, Il Binte and Il Brolo cultivate the indigenous Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Croatina varieties.

An ancient irrigation system slowly streams water from a lake of water lilies. Small stone channels cross the meadows and historic parkland, bringing the water of life to the vineyards. Its course then plunges downwards, to re-emerge in ditches on the valley floor.

The land has a stratified conformation. Carbonate rocks underlie the clay soil, being more branched out at depth. Variegated colours reveal the mineral richness of the sediment.
