The Bucci family has been farming in the Castelli di Jesi area since the 1700s and comes from one of the historic “castles” of Jesi, named Montecarotto. The property is extremely diverse (covering a total of 360 hectares) and includes many kinds of crops including wheat, corn, sugar beets, sunflowers, and olives. The winery is run by Ampelio Bucci – known as the “Professor” in many Italian wine circles, who began bottling his own wine in 1983. The wines have been 100% certified organic since 1999.
