La Bacheta began with its first vineyard in 2003. The farm now covers around three hectares, combining vines and vegetable gardens with olive trees, fruit trees, willows and mulberries.
The vineyards lie at Custoza, in the moraine hills near Lake Garda. Soils are mainly sand and gravel, formed from material deposited by glaciers during the Würm glaciation. Native varieties include Garganega, Corvina and Rondinella.
Vineyard work increasingly focuses on preserving soil integrity and limiting compaction. Winter and green pruning follow the vines’ sap flow, helping care for established vineyards described in the original profile as around twenty years old. Most of the work takes place in the vineyard, with the aim of producing good grapes.
Cellar techniques seek to express and preserve the fruit’s character. These include semi-carbonic maceration followed by extended whole-bunch maceration, and stirring of the fine lees.
Organic principles guide vineyard and cellar work, with certification since 2012. Living in and with the countryside also brings a connection with natural rhythms, biodynamic principles and agroforestry.
