Company history
Our company is located in La Forma in the municipality of Serrone (FR) and was founded at the end of the
1950s by the current owner Mr. Giovanni Terenzi who today manages it together with his three children.
Together with his wife Mrs. Santa, Mr. Giovanni personally take care of the vineyards, which have a total surface area of approximately 12 hectares.
Their son and daughters take care of the marketing, sales, administration and group reception. As you can see, a typical and traditional family-run business.
The firm adopts cutting-edge machinery and new technologies, while rigorously preserving the ancient production techniques: this is the key to an austere and precious wine, the result of a reality that is worth visiting.
Company philosophy
In the mid-nineties all the vineyards were planted again and converted, in order to produce only the Cesanese d'Affile from the red grapes and the Passerina from the white ones. The international vines have been uprooted to allow only the vines that are most suited to our territory to grow. A single exception is represented by the Velobra vineyard, planted in 1962 and safeguarded for sentimental reasons.
Our company raises its vineyards in a natural and sustainable way, without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and products harmful to the environment. The cultivation of the land is entrusted to the owner, Mr. Giovanni, who every morning goes to his vineyards together with his wife Santa to carry out the processing, from pruning to the harvest, passing through all the other phases: green pruning, cleaning of weeds and treatments. In the cellar, Mr. Armando takes care of the production, directing the winemaking phases and taking care of the entire refining cycle up to the bottling of the wines, as well as their national and foreign marketing. Our accommodation facility, led by Mrs. Pina (sommelier), exploits a modern and welcoming tasting room for tastings throughout the entire year. Our store is managed by Mrs. Maria. The passion for this work was passed on to us by grandparents and parents and we will try to pass it on to our children in full harmony with respect for the environment and the earth. For this reason, since 2021 we have been practicing precision agriculture, converting our production towards a sustainable regime through continuous monitoring of the vineyards, allowing for significant savings in water resources and greater precision in intervention in the vineyard, respecting nature and the land. This represents a fundamental transition for the wines of the future.
