Francesco Cirelli's farm is located just eight kilometres from the sea, between national parks and the gentle foothills of Abruzzo. Francesco lives biodynamic farming as a holistic concept. In addition to the 4 hectares of vineyards, he also cultivates 4 hectares of fig trees, one hectare of olive trees and 13 hectares of cereals. On top of this, he keeps a small herd of goats and geese, and a bed & breakfast allows visitors to share in this gem. He makes his wines in concrete and steel tanks and 800-litre amphorae from Florence. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in the cellar, with a maceration period of 15 days for the red wines. The whites are left on the skins for just one night before being pressed using a traditional basket press. In some years Francesco coarsely filters his wines, but never the amphora wines. All wines are bottled unfined.
