Proprietor Dora Forsoni has been farmiing her family's vines organically forever. Some of the plantings go back to 1963; the vines are maintained meticulously with her own hands. Soils are worked several times per year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"WineDescriptions1\"\u003eThe bunches are harvested manually and destemmed, with the berries left whole and layered in concrete tanks.
