Pievuccia is part of a movement of small vineyards; we produce about 15.000 to 20.000 bottles annually, sold mostly here directly in our shop; the rest is exported and distributed in local restaurants.

We practice sustainable viticulture, a reality that helps to solve problems in all working processes through eco-friendly solutions: no pure monoculture but cover crops and endemic flower population; the soils are enriched with bacteria, microbe and fungus through the use of compost and farmyard manure; the variety of insects and arthropod are increased and, with them, the biodiversity.

We are more farm than factory: Riccardo (the farmer), his tractor and a few friends who come to help at harvest time, all in harmony with the land around us. We make wine by finding the beauty of the vintage, finding its personality.

Since 1994 I’ve been producing organic wine and oil (ABCERT certied) following the principles of biodynamic.
No fertilizers at all but permaculture in the vineyards and olive groves is used instead; this involves the use of extracts from herbs, citrus fruit and natural parasites so as to prevent and contrast fungal diseases as well as to reduce the use of copper and sulphur. Harvest is carried out strictly by hand. My vineyards are more than 15 years old and are characterised by deep roots which explore the subsoil and enrich with its minerals. The red wines are on the hills while the white ones are located half way down. Therefore the wines are sapid and tasty.
The natural concept of terroir is exalted simply by leaving everything do its own course: the year, the rain and the sun give the wines I produce the taste of my land. These are dierent every year but yet keep the same mark of their land of origin.
Nothing is forced in the cellar, no enzymes, yeasts or tannins, acidifyings or other wine additives therefore we count on spontaneous fermentation from local yeasts and minimum addition of sulfate (in a bottle the proportion is always under 50mg/lt of the total amount). In some wines there is no addition of sulfate at all.

Take a glass of wine and takes your time to follow us in the vineyard and in our cellar..
If you want to listen to us we will talk about our love for the earth, its scent and its fruits …
