“Sublime” Incanto Extra Virgin Olive Oil
For some years now we have been hearing about the Olive growing project within the province of Piacenza, but only a few people have passionately decided to become entrepreneurs to produce an extra virgin olive oil with the characteristics of this area.
Since 2007, the Bononi farm has begun the production of the Incanto Sublime extra virgin olive oil, immediately seizing the opportunity to certify the product through:
• University of Bologna - Food Science University Campus - Faculty of Agriculture (Cesena)
• Tasters Committee of Ibimet-CNR of Bologna
The result obtained was extremely interesting and for this reason I decided to call the product with the name of "First Certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Piacenza".
The vineyards are the beating heart of La Tosa, they contain its deepest soul and identity. Nineteen hectares of vineyards all clustered around the company, thirteen owned and six, almost bordering, rented out; all belonging to the same terroir, but with some differences between one vineyard and another and within each single plot.
Their philosophy in the vineyard can be summarized as follows: work to obtain the maximum concentration, complexity, personality and aromatic richness in the grapes, in order to then translate them into the wine, and respect the balance and good health of nature as much as possible , for a viticulture that we define as 'balanced'.
Luretta è esplorazione.
È un percorso attraverso i frutti di una terra ancora poco conosciuta, cominciato con l’ambizione di reinventare la tradizione, rendendo omaggio alle persone che nei secoli l’hanno formata. È un viaggio fatto di incontri, in cui ogni gesto si trasforma in un dialogo con la natura che ci permette di riscoprire il territorio giorno dopo giorno attraverso le voci di chi ne ha fatto la storia. Luretta è un’esperienza: un’immersione nel gusto, nella storia e nelle idee che si intrecciano nei Colli Piacentini.

Work in the vineyard
Our vineyards extend over a small area of 6 hectares trained with Guyot and spurred cordon. We cultivate the traditional grapes of the Piacenza hills: barbera, croatina (locally called Bonarda), ortrugo, malvasia, trebbiano, moscato. We also have a small part of Syrah, an international vine that expresses its characteristics very well in our area.
In our vineyards we follow organic farming using the least number of treatments possible and trying to keep close to traditional processes.
The work in the cellar
In the cellar we follow the process of transforming the grapes into wine without intervening in an invasive way, in fact we try to transmit traditional flavors to our wines. We use cement tanks and little steel for the vinification, for the Syrah we have chosen the vinification in amphorae. We use barriques only for our Gutturnio Classico Riserva which undergoes a short passage in wood.
All our wines are born thanks to the work done by the indigenous yeasts of the grapes and for the sparkling wines we have chosen the natural refermentation in the bottle which takes place, also in this case, without the addition of selected yeasts.
The wines are not filtered, therefore they maintain their natural characteristics over time and a certain delicacy is required when pouring them into the glass.
Our wines and the work in the vineyard are certified organic by Suolo e Salute
