It is located along the Via Francigena, near the town of Acquapendente, just north of Lake Bolsena. We are in the Alta Tuscia Viterbese (Lazio), a few kilometers from Tuscany and Umbria.
The vineyards extend for over 10 hectares at around 300 meters above sea level, on south-facing slopes of hills overlooking the Paglia river valley. The soil is characterized by its clay-loam texture, the good percentage of active limestone, and the good water retention capacity. The training system is spurred cordon and Guyot and the average density is around 5200 plants per hectare. The cultivated varieties are Sangiovese (4 clones), Cabernet Sauvignon, Ciliegiolo, Grechetto and Chardonnay. Precision viticulture is used in the vineyard, which is non-invasive and aimed at obtaining high-quality grapes. Fertilization pursues the optimization of organic substance. The green manure technique in alternate rows favors the development of adequate quantities of nitrogenous substance.
The wines are born in a land of ancient winemaking tradition. In the 16th century the urban and extra-urban territory was dotted with vineyards, and the Etruscans had probably already discovered that these hills were particularly favorable for vines. The culture of wine is therefore well rooted in the traditions and convivial habits of this corner of Lazio rich in history and lush nature. The wines of Terre d'Aquesia have a typical character and express a strong bond with the terroir.
