Un'Orsa Minore Specialities: White wine

Un'Orsa Minore is Filippo de Martin. The company is located in San Gregorio nelle Alpi in Roncoi, a small hamlet at the foot of Mount Pizzocco within the Belluno Dolomites Park. All around are the Pale Mountains, a magical place of stones, sunsets, steep meadows and high pinnacles, where a handful of winemakers carry on an ancient winemaking tradition.

The project began in 2011 with the creation of the first vineyard (by Solaris) on the Col de Doro to which, over the years, new plantings were added together with the recovery of old vines cultivated with historical Valbelluna varieties.

Then in 2014 it was the turn of Bronner, to certify Filippo's interest and commitment with resistant vines.

Love for the Mountain

Filippo de Martin is a great lover of the mountains and the wines testify in a certain way to all his respect.

They are tight, very fresh wines, as vertical as the walls of the Belluno Alps, very fine.

This is his profound thought: "For us, a place represents the synthesis of plant, soil and climate. We are convinced that only natural agriculture can bring out these characters. Viticulture, which has now completely disappeared in these areas, comes back to life in a far-reaching agricultural project: it seems that fatigue slowly, after long work, gives way to joy. Nothing to imitate, everything to interpret. Grapes are the medium. Magnesium, phosphorous, calcium and silica the fuels. Sun, wind, rain and snow the thickeners that bind the land to a place."
