Casalfarneto is a family owned, independent wine producer. With its 35 hectares of vineyard, Casalfarneto combines technology, tradition and sustainability to produce wines of excellence. Under the shade of "Farneto oaks", from which the Estate gets its name, the farmhouse boasts the cultivation of white and red grape.
the vineyards are between 170-220 meters above sea level, ten Kilometres away from the Adriatic Sea, with a south-west exposure. The vineyards lay on the side of a river valley which is open towards the sea, and it’s influenced by the nearby sea. The soil is medium dense, tendentiously loose texture, with clay presence. The grapes are harvested and immediately undergo soft pressing. The must is then brought in stainless steels to start fermentation in contact with its own skins at about 26-28°C, which lasts around 18 days. After the fermentation is completed, the skins are removed, the wine is filtered and then rests in steel for about 3 months before bottling.
