Yes, we Illica are lucky to live in an extraordinary valley, enchanting and discreet that we have a duty to preserve and enhance.
We breathe pure air, we walk on a clair and bright land born from ancient tropical seas, we listen to the sweet lamento of the fossil shells breaking beneath our feet, we climb on steep scope to raise our vineyards and we enjoy healthy evening breeze blowing from the sea and the mountains. High
above, where our most ancient grapevines dwell, a shining landscape is waiting for us, in which the eyes run among woods, badlands, vineyards, castles, ancient villages, horses and some isolate house.
Cold Winter and not too warm Summer, clear sky and fresh breeze, strong temperature ranges between daytime and nighttime; all this is a benediction creating an unique microclimate able to respect the nature balance. For a long time, in our valley, we do not have real reasons to use chemical products, and for we Illica the organic farming is a normal family tradition, not a trendy fashion.
The organic history of my wines began with my grandfather, mythical keeper of the art of cured meats, it continued with my dad, faithful defender of the security and enraptured by love for grapes and it has arrived to me, conquered by passion for wines me too, especially when they can be authentic expressions of a territory free from contaminations and pollution.
The green certification of my grapes is born twenty years ago when the word ‘organic’ was new but, sincerely, in Illica family organic is the normal rule, history, tradition.
It is just all we have always done!
Ethics, respect for environment, culture, trend, commercial needs are good reasons to make the effort of producing organic wines but not for Us: Val d’Ongina, our valley, does not need. Simply!
