Federico Staderini describes it as follows:

The intimate reasons for this wine lie in my youth, in being an agronomist, in the Casentino land crowned with mountains, in the gentleness of its Etruscan people, and finally in its coolness; a substantial thermal mitigation effect from which Pinot Noir, an absolute grape, greatly benefits, especially during summer nights.

Predominantly, in vibrant finesse and elegance.

In all the production choices made since the planting of 3 hectares in 2004-2007, the foundations of science and "techne" have guided the hand in cultivation and the hands and feet in the labor of winemaking, yet without obsession or invasiveness.

The organic work of the 7 small vineyards Nuc, Pozzo, Fedelone, 2 Fratelli, Querce, Becco and Cuna (Etruscan and cadastral place names), on the white limestones of our ecological niche, merges with the brightness of the sun and becomes wine through 7/8 harvests from the "very early" days of September to the "late," when it is already October.

In doing so, I try to highlight, from the different vineyards, the multifaceted expressions ranging from young and nervous berries, to those balanced/expressive, and all the way to the depth of late grapes of generous and exhaustive ripeness.

These latter, already cold from the almost autumn, are invigorated and corroborated by fermentations with all, or many, of the stems.

Sometimes before, sometimes after, but more often during maturation in old Burgundy barrels, these various physiognomies converge towards a choral and expressive unity, where Pinot Noir testifies more to the places than to itself. A frank drink!
