Summary
The estate has been in the family of the current owners, siblings Giuliano and Gessica Frollani, since the 1950s, when it was purchased by their grandparents. The 120-hectare farm includes livestock, produce, and vineyards, which are spread throughout the appellation, offering varied soil types across the different growing areas. In 2013, a new winemaking facility was completed, emphasizing low environmental output. Diego Mugnaini is Casa di Terra’s enologist and agronomist.
Style & Vinification Techniques
The estate practices organic farming and viticulture, with an emphasis on sustainability. The wines are fermented in open oak vats, using ambient yeasts for all red grapes. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
