The wines
The farm Fiorano stands out for its biological farming of 12 land hectares use as vineyards and olive groves growing. The farm's products are strictly controlled by IMC (Istituto Mediterraneo Certificazione). Fiorano took part of a project of territorial improvement and zoning, a study to verify the best pedoclimatic conditions for the vineyards, in collaboration with University of Milan.
The treatment of the vine-shoots, the exposure of the olive groves, the thinning and the coupling of traditional techniques with modern plant, the commitments of the estate for "green" practices and sustainability, set up wines of superior sort. The uniqueness of the softness and the sweet smells of these wines reflect the features of Piceno; wines are created with a non standardized smell which represents the surrounding natural environment.
