WHO FINDS A VIGNERON FINDS A FRIEND
Davide Xodo after more than 15 years of experience and collaboration in the world of wine has realized the dream of opening my small farm to produce wine "as I like it" in the hills near home. The project began in 2018 with the rental and arrangement of the vineyards and cellar of a historic producer in the area, Ermido Piva. The company is located in Nanto, province of Vicenza, on the eastern side of the Berici Hills, a hilly area of sedimentary origin, characterized by silt-clay soils, rich in calcareous rocks, with a generally basic pH. The work in the countryside aims to enhance the peculiarities of the different vineyards and the different grape varieties, seeking the maximum balance between the plants and the surrounding environment. We do not use chemical products, we limit treatments and passages with the tractor, the harvest is done manually. The grapes are representative of the vineyards from which they come and transformed into wine in a simple way, without forcing and manipulation, to obtain original, genuine and accessible wines. In the cellar we carry out a careful selection of the grapes, the fermentations take place with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control. No clarifications, subtractions or additions are carried out, sulphites are used only if necessary and in minimal quantities. Bottling takes place without filtration. Each vintage is a story in itself.
