Great vines have always been grown in most suited areas in the hinterland of Albenga, along the gentle valley that, starting from Bastia, home of our company, follows the course of Arroscia, moving away gradually from the great Albenga plain to reach Ranzo and the lands of the province of Imperia. The use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers does not belong to the local tradition and we have not done anything but adapt to the customs of the past. Growing Organic is not a technical nor economic choice: it is simply cultural. The perception of what we were doing, communicated in a simple and without frills way – especially by word of mouth – has become quickly very popular with the best wine shops and the best restaurants in Liguria and beyond. Names like MaRen, Aimone, U Basti, Bacil and Gig, more than the classic Pigato, Vermentino, Rossese e Granaccia, have attracted wine lovers as synonymous with quality and entirety in production: wines, you know, are not produced by the will of an individual but of the entire family. The newest wine, “Bon in da Bon” (“Really good”), was created with the grapes of a particular cru, harvested late and vinified with the methodologies of our ancestors.
