Winery Profile

In the late 1940s, Umberto Ceci bought a small plot of land in S. Paolo di Jesi, in a hamlet called Battinebbia devoted to the growing of Verdicchio grapes. In the early 1950s, the land passed to Amato and his wife Maria, keen growers who started to produce and sell their wines from the farm building on the estate.
The estate currently has more than 26 hectares of vines, spread across eight separate plots, each with unique characteristics that respect and celebrate the terroir and individual grape varieties.
The white grapes are grown with the Guyot system and Verdicchio is the most prevalent, grown over 23 hectares. Incrocio Bruni 54 (Verdicchio pollinated with Sauvignon Blanc) was also planted. The red grape vines grown are Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, in addition to Cabernet and Merlot
