Notes from Rock Juice Inc:
"Founded in 2020 by a fun-loving gang of misfits, Agricola SBV produces artisanal wines that are a true reflection of the unique terroir. Nestled amidst a breathtaking forest, Agricola SBV manages over 3 hectares of pristine land, including 300 olive trees and 7 hectares of organic vineyards. We love their manifesto: "We reject standardized and conventional tastes that are created using industrial techniques, choosing instead to create nonconformist wines that embody the truest and most authentic nature of the grape variety and the terroir. And we're not interested in conforming to consumerism or fashion - but believe in creating wines that break the mold". They use nothing but minimal quantities of copper and sulfur in the vineyard (in much lower quantities than allowed in organics).
They use biodynamic essential oils to protect the vineyard from disease and work as much as possible by hand. They do not fertilize; the only organic substance that nourishes their land comes from the cutting of wild herbs and vine prunings. These guys are on the Adriatic coast in the Marche, a place relatively unknown to foreign tourists but a big wine producing region -- a beautiful and relatively non-touristy place where the sea is framed by the Apennine mountain range. The soils are informed by these mountains made of limestone, and vineyards are cooled and salt sprayed by coastal breezes."
