Aural

Soil is not a support. It is the origin.

Listening as a method

AURAL is an approach based on listening. The name derives from “auris”, the ear, and refers to an attentive disposition toward the territory, time, and natural signals that guide every choice. It is not an abstract principle, but an operational method that directs agricultural work and production decisions, avoiding forcing and adapting to the specific conditions of the place. A viticultural project on Mount Amiata, based on complex soils and low natural fertility. Here the vine grows by adaptation, not excess.

LISTENING MEANS RECOGNIZING THE MOMENT, NOT IMPOSING IT.

Identity

AURAL arises from the encounter between natural conditions and conscious choices. It is not a project built to adapt to the market, but a path that develops from the place, interpreting its characteristics without simplifying them. Every decision—from cultivation to production—is aimed at maintaining coherence between origin and result, avoiding forcing and standardization.

CALCAREOUS SOILS, LIMITED NUTRIENTS, UNSTABLE BALANCE.
CONDITIONS THAT REDUCE YIELD AND CONCENTRATE ENERGY.

Agronomy as direction

The seasons unfold with extended timing, light varies slowly and each phase of the vegetative cycle finds its own balance. To intervene means recognizing the right moment, without anticipating or accelerating, allowing the process to follow a natural progression. In AURAL every intervention is calibrated on soil and plant: rootstock selection; targeted nutritional management; non-invasive practices.

ON MOUNT AMIATA CULTIVATION REQUIRES MEASURE AND PATIENCE. IT IS NOT ABOUT CORRECTING, IT IS ABOUT INTERPRETING.

Wind as an active factor

Air currents rising from the sea cross the slopes of Amiata, regulate the microclimate and contribute to the health and balance of grapes and olives. This often invisible element is an integral part of the project: a discreet but decisive factor connecting land and atmosphere and defining the conditions in which work takes shape.

WIND REGULATES THE MICROCLIMATE AND RIPENING TIMES.
