the wine of Agricola Errante
it’s a tale from times gone by
and a journey to discover my land.
Agricola
because it’s a story
linked to the family rural tradition.
Everything starts from the soil and the grapes.
Errante
because it’s continuous experimentation,
made of trial and error. Wine is a process,
it is research, love, ambition.
tells a story
This heritage is accompanied by Trebbiano, vinified with Malvasia between the rows, as was once done, and Montepulciano rosé, a tribute to Cerasuolo, grown at the foot of a gully.
Finally, a great personal passion, Syrah, the fruit of travels and legends, meets Montepulciano to give life to something new, with still so much to tell.
wines like honest and courageous heroes,
knights sent on adventures,
to learn about the world, evolve, change.
it’s care work
Cultivation is an act of love: pruning, removing the leaf, eliminating the damaged grape, in the cold of January as well as in the heat of August.
The grapes are grown with natural methods, without the use of fertilizer, but only plant extracts, sulfur and copper in minimal quantities.
The harvest is manual, with 20kg boxes.
The attention is not paid to productivity, but to the recovery of the old vineyards: the yield is lower, but a much more important heritage is preserved.
Un omaggio
ai grandi slanci,
alle idee e ai sogni.
Fermentation is spontaneous.
There is no filtration or clarification and the settling is only caused by the winter cold.
The intervention is minimal, the approach is artisanal and many of the tools in use are those of the past.
The result is a good, genuine, sincere wine, without defects and in harmony with nature.
wine is made in the vineyard:
when the bunch of grapes arrives in the cellar,
the wine to come is already clear.
…Ai poeti del
quotidiano.
I’m Mirko and
I am a winemaker
The oldest memories I have are linked to wine.
As a child, I followed my father into the vineyard and the upside-down box became my ladder to reach the grapes.
In the cellar, secretly from my grandfather, I drank the must from the wooden vat.
Then I studied, travelled, worked as a sommelier, from a trattoria to a starred restaurant, to learn about wine in all its aspects.
You can find my story, my passion, my idea in the wine of Agricola Errante.
