The wine estate Azienda Agricola Valturio was founded in 2002 with the aim of restoring the production of high quality wine to Montefeltro, a region located in the middle of Italy between the Marche, Tuscany and Romagna. 
The history of the winery is a history of perseverance and passion. The soil where we have planted our vines in 2003 were left abandoned from the 60s. 
We have done an important work of reclamation, restoring old plots made with hoes. We have rediscovered an ancient spring that we use for the winery which is also self-sufficient, as far as the electricity is concerned, thanks to the photovoltaic roof. We have planted the vines already present in this area: Sangiovese, introducing some non-autochthonous vines such as Pinot Noir ' Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with the intention to improve the potentialities of the territory. We leave the production of the wines to vineyards, refusing to use any chemical treatments but selecting manually the grapes when they are still green to leave the ecosystem rich and unchanged as it is today. The name, the logo and the label of our first wine, Valturio, are a tribute to the history of these lands. The war machine on the label was designed at the middle of XY century by Roberto Valturio for De Re Militari, a book about the Art of the War, appreciated also by Leonardo da Vinci. 
Azienda Valturio is located at an altitude of 450 metres. The vineyards stretched over I 0 hectares in the form of an amphitheatre facing West; at its steepest the gradient is 40%. 7,000 - I 0,000 plants per hectare are grown in the free-standing alberello (gobelet) system. The yield amounts to less than fifty quintals of grapes per hectare.
