Vittorio and David Navacchia are the second generation to farm these vineyards in the gentle hills of Emilia-Romagna.  There are two 26-hectare vineyards: one in Imola, where the winery is located, and another called “Petrignone” in the village of Forli.  They grow local varieties Albana, Pignoletto, Trebbiano and Sangiovese di Romagna as well as others.  The brothers have converted to organic farming and introduced biodynamic methods as well.  The pebbly soils and cool nights make this area particularly hospitable to producing crisp, vibrant whites as well as lively reds.  Vittorio’s initial experimentation with using skin-contact and amphora for some white varieties have produced unique and remarkable wines.
