The particular
microclimate, the natural characteristics of the land, the excellent exposure of vineyards combine to create ideal conditions for the demands of the different types of vines
grown. The Farm, which is sorrounded by the wonderful Oltrepo
Hills, is equipped with all the most modern facilities: the wine cellar which houses state of the art
technologies, special rooms for improving in wood, a cosy wine
tasting-room, a confortable meeting-room.
RESPECT FOR TRADITION
The people who live in Oltrepo know that this area is one of the best wine reserves of
Lombardy. Here vine growing is made according a tradition handed down from century to
century. The "Isimbarda" farm doesn't forget this lesson and wants to connect it with the most advanced achievements of modern
technology.
After studies on the composition of the soil and of the climate of this area, different zones have been fixed according to the specific characteristics of
vines. Barbera, Croatina, Uva Rara, Moradella, autochthonous Oltrepo
vines, Cabernet Sauvignon are grown in sunny zones at a law
altitude. In wineyards of higher altitude and different exposure the Pinot Noir finds its ideal habitat. |

Italic
Riesling, Rhine Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are grown in Near-Eastern slopes where the thermal ranges are more
sensible. Man intervenes with planting formats with high densities of
vinestock, with various manual operationsduring the green vegetation stage, not least the thinning out of
clusters: these working techniques are applied to ensure a production ranging between 1,5 Kg and a maximum of 2,5 Kg. per
vine. Grape harvesting is also carried out by hand after a careful
desuckering: only the best part is destined to be turned into wine. Grape pickering is settled on the basis of maturity-curves' data. |
