At Castello di Montepò, efforts are made to increase the vineyard area of the estate through precise, long, and patient work, especially in its initial phases. For each new planting, the soil must be prepared two years in advance, starting with plowing and harrowing operations performed using a harrow, an agricultural machine that levels and breaks up the soil. Subsequently, ripping is carried out, a process that involves splitting the soil to promote the necessary deep oxygenation, and stone removal to make the soil more suitable for cultivation. After completing these stages, a drainage system for water is created, and after another harrowing, the actual layout of the new plantings is composed based on the exposures and inclinations of the terrain. After planting the cuttings, and subsequently stakes, wires, and anchors, containment crops are sown, especially with vetch, legumes, and rapeseed, to prevent soil erosion and, at the same time, provide the necessary nutrient-organic input. The hills that make up the Castello di Montepò estate are a perfect example of what it means for a piece of land to have a profound viticultural vocation. Geologically, the vineyards of the company are located on soils of marine origin from the Flysch, a sequence of clastic sedimentary rocks of syn-orogenetic Eocene origin, consisting of cyclic alternations of sandstone, clay, and marl levels. These elements contribute to making the soils lean and rich in skeletal material, supplemented by, just below the Castle, intrusive compact calcareous sandstone of the pietraforte type.
