Di questa epoca sono felice testimonianza le grotte presenti sotto la cantina, che ho potuto ammirare accompagnata da Alessandro squisita guida. L’introduzione negli anni ’80 di nuovi metodi nella coltivazione della vite, l’ammodernamento della cantina e il coinvolgimento dei figli Marco e Mattia hanno portato alla produzione di ottimi vini, as the Doric Conero DOCG Riserva 2005, which I appreciated while we were chatting together…
