Il Conventino di Monteciccardo

The company is located in the Marche region (in central Italy on the Adriatic coast) in the territory of Monteciccardo in the province of Pesaro Urbino.

The estate covers an area of ​​60 hectares in hilly area at an altitude of 300 m above sea level and the composition and the exposure of the soil along with the microclimate contribute to forming the ideal habitat for the cultivation of the vine and olives.



The vineyard, of 10 hectares, was created in 2001 in the hills at an altitude of 300 m above sea level where, both the composition and the exposure of the soil along with the microclimate, help to create a perfect habitat for the vines.



After an accurate historical research on the territory and on the climate and soil characteristic grape varieties, 47,250 vines were planted, of which 27,250 with red berry and 20,000 with white berry. We gave priority to historical cultivars in our area like Albanello, Trebbiano, Incrocio Bruno, Alicante, Sangiovese and while not neglecting other interesting varieties such Aleatico, Lacrima, Bombino and Merlot. The training system chosen is spurred cordon espalier, for the vines characterized by low fertility of basal buds, and gouyot, for the vine varieties with high bud fertility.



The plant is characterized by a concentration of 5,000 plants per hectare and is provided with an helping irrigation system to compensate for any water shortages which may arise in particularly dry seasons.
