Discover biodynamic agriculture at Fattoria Castellina Vineyard
Located in the heart of Montalbano, in a region rich in history and conducive to viticulture and olive growing, lies the Fattoria Castellina vineyard. This winery has made the bold choice to embrace biodynamic agriculture, an approach that goes beyond traditional organic farming. It not only eliminates synthetic chemicals but also seeks to enrich the soil and promote a healthy ecosystem through specific methods. The work in the vineyards of Fattoria Castellina follows a path inspired by biodynamics. Preparations such as 500 (cow horn) and 501 (silica horn), along with other compost-based preparations, are used to regenerate and enhance the biological fertility of the soil. The main goal is to promote the natural fertility of the soil by encouraging the presence of organic matter, microorganisms, humus, earthworms, and insects. This approach allows plants to thrive in a vital environment conducive to their development, resulting in healthy fruits that fully reflect the terroir.
Biodiversity is also prioritized in the Fattoria Castellina vineyard through the practice of "green manure." This method involves sowing legumes and other plants between the vine rows, which are then mowed and lightly buried to enrich the soil. Additionally, natural pest treatments are only used when necessary, with products such as sulfur and copper, and their usage is kept to a minimum. All these practices are also carried out in harmony with lunar cycles.
The winemaking process at Fattoria Castellina respects the principles of biodynamics. Grapes are hand-harvested at perfect ripeness to ensure the quality of the final product. Fermentations occur naturally, without the addition of selected yeasts, enzymes, or other substances. The wines are aged in large oak barrels for Sangiovese varietals and in small used barrels for international varietals. Furthermore, the vinification of Vermentinos in amphorae allows for the rediscovery of ancient flavors and aromas, reminiscent of the Etruscan era.
The wines of Fattoria Castellina are produced with care and respect for the terroir. They are neither filtered nor stabilized during bottling and undergo a minimum aging period of 3 months before being released. This approach creates wines of great purity, showcasing the characteristics and potential of each varietal (100% Merlot, 100% Syrah, 100% Sangiovese, 100% Vermentino). Thus, each wine fully expresses its unique personality and close connection to the terroir.
