Maria Ernesta Berucci

Maria Ernesta Berucci is a daughter of art. In fact, for generations his family has lived in Piglio where they have always dedicated themselves to viticulture. After a period in Rome, Maria Ernesta decides to take back the old vineyards and recover the tradition of Cesanese del Piglio and the other wines produced in this area.

With the experience acquired in the family and by the father, who had already begun bottling part of the wine produced in the early 1960s, Onda was born in 2009, the company's first label, originating from the Colli Santi vineyard and produced with the help of his brother Francesco.

The meeting with Geminiano in 2014 was fundamental, which led to the adoption of an agrohomeopathic approach to viticulture. Following the principles learned under the guidance of Radko Thichavsky, a work that is respectful of the soil and the vineyard, never invasive, is implemented in the field, aimed at fortifying the soil through mulching and homeopathic treatments. Likewise, maximum attention is paid during pruning, with the aim of not mortifying the plant with excessive thinning and defoliation and working in the vineyard only manually. Thus Maria Ernesta and Geminiano grow strong plants, capable of dealing with diseases and parasites without the excessive use of copper and sulphur.
