Since 1998 Filippo Manetti has been growing and producing organic extra virgin olive oil and w**e on the beautiful hills of Brisighella under the name Vigne di San Lorenzo **e_vigne_d.s.lorenzo.
Filippo with his 26 years of experience makes beautiful, clean and elegant w**es, image of the terroir of the beautiful Brisighella hills using only the 3 traditional grape varieties of the area, Albana, Trebbiano and Sangiovese.
What amazed us the most of his cellar is how he uses the Geogian qvevri, they are in the ground but not underground... he placed them in old barrels that he filled with soil and waters regularly, to create the underground effect but with the possibility of move them!
Now the company is expanding to Colle Montesiepe, between the provinces of Forlì and Ravenna, on the historic Podere Oliveta estate.
The estate lies along the road that runs through the valley of the Lamone River, on a soil of marl and alluvial sandstone, in the Tuscan-Romagnolian Apennines. Here viticulture began around 1000 B.C., amid abbeys, monasteries and sanctuaries. The new w**ery of the Società Agricola Manetti is located a few kilometers from Podere Oliveta, in Ponte Nono of Brisighella.
This w**ery processes not only the grapes of Vigne di San Lorenzo, but also those of other w**emakers who use services such as aging (in wood, cement, steel or amphora), bottling, labeling and storage.
