Occhipinti Andrea
Andrea Occhipinti, a roman, attends the Agritourism Institute in Viterbo, and during the studies he discovers the surrounding area that fascinates him so much that he can transplant his wine project here. It is firmly convinced that only native vines, Grachetto and Aleatico, should be worked in these lands. The aim is to preserve and enhance these two vineyards and to express their territorial aspect in the most natural way. The vineyards stretch for just four hectares on the banks of Lake Gradoli, in a volcanic soil, at an altitude of 400 m. A perfect environment for exposure and ventilation. Andrea vinifies with little work in the cellar, uses cement, steel or amphora, practices cultivation with techniques that approach biological management and strongly believes in what he does.
