Cangelasio Hills
Red grapes: Barbera, Bonarda, Cabernet sauvignon and Merlot. White Grapes: Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Chardonnay and Trebbiano
The vineyards embrace the Poggio hill in a 360-degree panorama, with the manor house standing at its summit. Since the early 1950s, traditional varieties of Piacenza and Parma viticulture have been cultivated between 350 and 400 meters above sea level, including Barbera and Bonarda for red grape varieties, and Malvasia di Candia Aromatica for white wines.
The terroir’s vocation for producing quality wines was immediately evident: this led to the decision to explore the structural and chemical-physical composition of the soil through analysis conducted by the University of Pavia.
The results revealed a clayey-limestone soil, with plots rich in shale.
Based on the soil characteristics and following the desire to produce long-lived and structured red wines, the decision was made to continue planting Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, bringing the vineyard area to the current 15 hectares.
