Producer introduction

The little farm has always been handled by the family and where the enthusiasm, passion, devotion and years of experience, have produced wines of quality, obtaining various national and international recognitions. The wines bear the names of the family members, to express the satisfaction of bottling the fruits of our own labour.

TERRITORY... land of the sun, colours and harmony for a typical wine from the Marche region
The MOGNON farm is situated in the medieval small village of Castel Colonna, 30 km from Ancona, port and chief town of the Marche region in central Italy.Our vineyards are located 5 km from the Adriatic sea with its breeze that mitigates the climatic excesses of the seasons, and the Appeninic Mountains who protect them from cold winds, creating a microclima, particularly favourable for the viticulture. The soil is formed by soft and harmonious slopes of clay of average mix, tending towards limestone, creating an ideal habitat for flora and fauna, also thanks to the use of organic agriculture techniques.

ORGANIC AGRICULTURE... harmonious combination between nature and labour of man
![""]("../img/agricoltura_biologica.jpg")
We practice organic agriculture on the entire property of our farm with the wish to respect nature and not pollute the environment. The production is controlled and certificated by the Istituto Mediterraneo di Certificazione, a controlling organ for the biological agriculture, authorized by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture. The vineyards are closely followed up with care and devotion and without forcing, limiting intentionally the production to favour the quality. A green pruning is effected, in order to control the vegetation, eliminating the grape-bunches in excess. The grapes are picked by hand in different periods, catching the optimum moment of maturity, and subsequently processed immediately.

Tasting Notes
If you tried to go due east from Florence to the coast you'd get lost in the beautiful remote Apennine backwaters of La Marche, but if you made it through you'd come to the coastal province of Ancona where much of Italy goes on holiday. Here, just a couple of miles from the sea, white-haired but virulent Floriano Mognon grows mostly Montepulciano and Sangiovese, having chucked in city life and bought the abandoned estate in the early eighties. His vineyards are slightly cooled by the sea and protected from rain and cold winds by the mountains to the west, so the wines have a decided pretty side to them. His "contadino" is a nod to local dialect for a farmer and this wine is very much produced on a farm scale in his spotless "cantina".
