About Farneto
About the winemaker: Azienda Agricola Il Farneto is an 8-hectare (19.77 acre) winery nestled between the hills of Scandiano and Canossa in Castellarano, Western Emilia-Romagna. Established in the mid-90s by Marco Bertoni, the winery is dedicated to producing natural wines that embody their terroirs. Winemaker Flavio Restani creates exquisite wines using time-honored techniques that prioritize the long-term vitality of the soils.  The winery is certified Biodynamic, with all operations conducted manually and with profound respect for nature. The vineyards are densely planted with 4000 vines per hectare and feature vines that are, on average, 15 years old, thriving in sandy clay soils. Although large French barrels with a capacity of up to 500 liters are employed, they are old and used solely to enhance the wines subtly.  The wines are named after the local Rio Rocca river, celebrated for its distinctive geological features and natural wilderness. Fermentation is carried out exclusively with wild yeast, and the use of sulfur is kept to a minimal or non-existent level.
