Abbia Nòva is a cluster of terrestrial islands in the town of Piglio, a group of small and medium sized parcels, each with its own personality, together they form an alternation of farming and nature. Each island of the cluster (cru or contrada) is an independent being, that merges with the surrounding environment and with the soil. Cousins Daniele and Pierluca Proietti make wine from four of them (San Giovanni, Cercione, Colle Passo, Vignali), olive oil from five of them (Costa Ilia, Colle Passo, Fontana di Grano, San Giovanni, Mignano). The officinal herbs complete the cultivated flora, as well as fruit trees and other spontaneous plants. Around each of them there are woods, fields and meadows. Abbia Nòva's wines are made with grapes indigenous to the area, from vineyards that are between 15 and 90 years old, that are cultivated according to a natural viticultural approach, inspired by Fukuoka and biodynamic principles. In the cellar they follow a natural and traditional method in the cellar as well, using steel, concrete, amphoras and glass demijohns. No added substances and yeasts. Only a very small amount of sulphur whenever necessary, with the aim of producing wines that are able to stand on their own legs, without external aid, and must be elegant, strong yet graceful.
