Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia

The Low Impact Farm MadonnaBruna is located on top of a smooth hill of Le Marche between the town of Fermo and the village of Lapedona, and enjoys a beautiful panoramic view of the green hills and the Adriatic Sea at only 4 km.
Madonnabruna has 14 hectares planted with specialised vineyard registered in the Official List for the DOC Rosso Piceno. The vineyards are situated on the hillside between 100 and 200 metres from the sea level and cultivated with vines of the varieties Sangiovese and Montepulciano. Recently, small vineyards have been planted with international species of vines as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
All the vineyard are cultivated following the Guyot system that provides for the annual renewal of the fruitful branches. During the pruning, buds are strongly reduced and this allows the control of the production and permits an excellent ripening of the grapes.

Casale Vitali’s farm was created in 1970 by Alfredo and Giuliano Vitali. At first they farmed livestock. With the development of the peach cultivation in the Aso valley, they transformed it into a fruit and vine farm. Casale Vitali’s winery was born modestly in 2003 in the cellar of the country house. Nowadays there is a bottling line and an area for aging wine, a tasting room. Casale Vitali produces:

Falerio Pecorino DOC
