Wine

Early in the morning, the harvest begins. Afterwards, the grapes are brought to the "palmento" for crushing. The next day, the grape harvest continues, and the grapes are first crushed using a mechanical crusher, then stomped with boots. After that, the wine is left to rest, and the must is transferred to the cellar for aging.

WINE:CULTIVATION

The grapes of Verbicaro, grown on the hills of the Pollino mountains, come from native varieties like Gaglioppo and Greco Nero, in an environment ideal for viticulture. The harvest, done by hand between September and October, is a tradition that combines quality and rural culture. From these grapes comes Verbicaro DOC, an authentic wine deeply connected to its territory.
