In Romagna people were accustomed to give a nickname to the peasant families that was then handed down from father to son, a tradition which, similarly to our dialect, is going to die. Our work is linked to the earth and the courses of the seasons. Sometimes it is hard, sometimes thankless. The success of a farm is often the fruit of the labour of different generations, of fathers and sons who struggled and still struggle to obtain the best from the soil. “Bron” and “Rusèval” were and will be the nicknames of the families Sirri and Casadei respectively. Producing a good quality wine and identify it with this name is a unique occasion to continue a tradition that would have hardly survived over the time. The project was born years ago when the farm decided to test the potential capacities of its lands as well as its technical abilities on international vine species like the Chardonnay and the Cabernet.

2023 VINTAGE FEATURES

Chardonnay is a grape variety that can be grown in many areas of the world and gives different expressions.
Here in Bertinoro the influence of the soil is recognisable: it develops salinity, fruitiness and special tropical notes.

Grapes are harvested at mid-August, early in the morning, to protect them from warm temperatures.
The result is a fresh, elegant wine.
