We bottle what the vineyard creates
Vineyards
The foundation of Meneghetti philosophy is the quality of life in harmony with the nature that surrounds us and influences us. We approach winemaking with love and knowledge - just like everything we do, actually.
Grapevine, with its fruits and their liquid core, is the symbol of the Istrian soil - the terroir of unique diversity. Leaned on the tradition, we apply new knowledge and constantly develop, being open-minded to contemporary technologies. This way we produce wines that reflect the uniqueness of Istria, at the same time crossing the boundaries with its character and quality. Along with the autochthonous sorts, we are cultivating international varieties that get special characteristics, affected by the local terroir, the unique soil and the environment full of Mediterranean vegetation.
The "Red Land” (Terre Rosse) around Meneghetti Wine hotel and in the location of Val Gambalera in Bale is a hard, poor soil with a high share of stone. It is intense and full of minerals - especially rich in iron that gives it the specific shade of intense and playful red color, but also its unique moisture and longevity. This red soil absorbs the sea air, the scents of Mediterranean plants that grow in its surroundings, and is particularly suitable for red grape varieties. A small hill located on the south side prevents excessive moisture and therefore herbal diseases. The location is open to dry winds from all other directions, providing long and healthy life of vines and strong aromas of grapes.
All of our vineyards are processed in an environmentally sustainable way, with deep respect for nature. We use Simonit & Sirch method. The resin is soft, always done by hand, to preserve the plant and increase its chances to reach high age.
