Our cellar

On the eleventh of November 1964, Luigi Calatroni was sitting at a table: in front of him was a sheet of paper with the stamp of the Montecalvo Versiggia municipality, a document that would change his life forever and that was just waiting for a signature... his!
That sheet of paper was a contract attesting to the transfer of ownership of the Casa Bella land from the Vecchietti family to Luigi. Until 1964, Luigi had cultivated those pinot noir vines as a sharecropper, like the four generations before him. The sharecropper was a winegrower who paid rent for the land with half of the vineyard's yield (and you know: for a winegrower, his grapes are like his children).
After years spent in the sun and rain tending the vines, after the terrible campaign in Russia during the Second World War and an adventurous return to his homeland with makeshift means, the Vigiö d'la Cà Bela (as he was called) had succeeded: he had conquered a strip of land in the Versa valley and would hand it down with pride to the next generation.
But let's move on to the present day. So many things have changed over the years: tractors are almost perfect machines, technology in the cellar has evolved and the concept of wine is no longer what it once was.
It's midday and from the kitchen comes the smell of freshly prepared agnolotti: Marisa calls everyone to report... "It's lunchtime! Fausto gets off the tractor, making sure that the hose isn't leaking oil, Cristian comes out of the cellar after making sure that all the barrels are in place and Stefano, back from deliveries, calls the girls into the office "It's ready!".
A family is sitting at a table in front of a plate of steaming agnolotti accompanied by a bottle of Pinot Noir. Amidst the hubbub of the table, a thought occasionally crops up... Would all this have been possible if Vigiö's tenacity had not pushed him to fulfil his dream?

LIVE THE HARVEST WITH US + LUNCH
Location molto bella e suggestiva, l'esperienza della vendemmia molto particolare e coinvolgente. la guida ci ha illustrato in modo molto soddisfacente tutto il processo di produzione del vino con le tecniche esistenti e quelle da loro usate nell'azienda agricola. terminare con il pranzo permette di assaporare anche i diversi calici di vini prodotti in questa azienda agricola. consigliato anche per persone con eventuali intolleranze in quanto il personale risulta molto attento. esperienza perfetta

PICNIC + GUIDED TOUR + WINE TASTING (4 WINES)
Picnic in vigna con visita e degustazione. Stata una bella esperienza formativa e sensoriale. Giro in cantina molto interessante, degustazione perfetta in atmosfera amichevola. Picnic in vigna è stata una esperienza inaspettata. Mezzo la vigna guardando bellissimo paesaggio, ascoltando il suono del ruscello, suono di una leggera brezza anche suoni di cicale ti fa proprio staccare la mente dalla vita quotidiana, dal solito tram-tram. Sicuramente tornerò ancora e consiglierò a miei familiari.

GUIDED TOUR + LUNCH (3-COURSE MENU) + WINE TASTING
La visita guidata a vigna e cantina è stata molto interessante. Il Sig. Roger ha fornito tantissimi elementi conoscitivi sulla tecnica di vinificazione. Poi è arrivato il momento del pranzo con abbinamento e degustazione vini. I piatti erano davvero squisiti, prepararti con ingredienti di qualità ed improntati alla migliore tradizione locale. Che dire dei vini? davvero eccellenti, in particolare gli spumanti. Devo anche esprimere un elogio per l'organizzazione, oltre che per la gentilezza del personale e dei proprietari. Veramente bravi!

È stata un'esperienza di grande livello! Spiegazioni molto dettagliate, e vino eccellente abbinato perfettamente. Al di sopra delle aspettative!

Molto buono il pranzo associato a ottimi vini. Unica pecca: difficile da trovare impostando Google maps che porta altrove. E per questo abbiamo saltato la visita in cantina poiche arrivate tardi! Comunque sono stati molto gentili e ci torneremo volentieri!
