In the far-off 1850, along the marvellous and pleasant hills of the Collio area, in Zegla, the Sturm farm was born.

For more than two centuries, from generation to generation, from father to son, the passion for wine art was handed down up to today, up to Oscar Sturm.

As far as the management of the company, it has always been permeated by a family approach. Today, Oscar Sturm manages the company with the precious help of his collaborators: his wife Dunja (sommelier) and their sons.

The present wine cultivated surface is 10 hectares, all owned by Sturm farm. This organizational aspect is of extreme importance for different operations and careful checks performed during the whole productive cycle, up to the marketing phase, in order to guarantee the quality of wines.

From the chemical point of view, the land is composed of loam marls of Eocenic origin. Such land is particularly suitable for grapes cultivation.

The growing systems are two: the "Guyot" and the "capuccina" way. No more than 10-12 buds per each vinestock are present. During the summer, the vineyard undergoes a thinning out to select the best clusters to be destined to vinification and obtain a further concentration of grapes components.

Thanks to such vineyard management characteristics aiming at controlling the yield, 9 t/ha of sound and mature grapes are produced on the average. Grapes are rigorously hand picked up to safeguard its integrity and the peculiarity of its organoleptic characteristics.

The cellar is completely buried to guarantee that the temperature of the environment remains constant during the year.

The enological plant is characterized by a wonderful harmony between stainless steel containers (equipped with temperature automatic control) and small bottles in French oak (for the improving and ageing of white and red wines). The plant has modern equipment and machines, as the pneumatic horizontal press (to squeeze grapes softly), the wine refrigerator, filters which do not "spoil" the product, the stalk separator machine (to avoid the passage of bitter tannins present in the grape stalk to must), etc.

Peculiar cunnings and care are dedicated to hygiene and cleanness, essential elements to avoid the development of potential polluting sources.
