Company

Our origins

Boccafosca started business in 2006 with the renovation of an old winery owned by one of the many cooperatives in Marche.

This moment marked the beginning of an engaging challenge towards evolution and change.

We increasingly focus on conscious farming and production processes aimed at keeping the quality of wine unaltered, while combining new technologies with the secrets of farming tradition.

We come from an ancient agricultural tradition made of land handed down from father to son, since every family had the vineyard and wine expertly produced in the underground cellar of each farmhouse.

Today the company is managed by two families who jointly work at the vineyards and winery, and deal with sales.

We set up a human chain that works harmoniously, with passion and love for the land and its produce.

Our territory

We are at the center of the Marche Region, our vineyards extend from the slopes of the Apennines to touch the Adriatic Sea, with varying altitudes that reach the tops of the Cupramontana at 450 meters above sea level, the coastal hills of the Medieval Castles (I Castelli di Jesi), guarded by intact walls, cradle of the Verdicchio of ancient times, a vine that offers the maximum potential in these areas.

In 1939 Cupramontana is entitled “Capital of Verdicchio” for the consolidated wine tradition, an important zoning work of the vineyards has begun, divided into various districts each with different geological and pedo-climatic characteristics (more details on www.cupramontana.it).

Going down to the gentle hills we approach the sea, not far from Senigallia, in Municipality of Roncitelli, there are our vineyards of Lacrima (a rare autochthonous vine). A very small denomination, a very limited production, allowed only in some municipalities that overlook the city of Morro d’Alba.

Vigneti

Boccafosca runs a wide estate around Cupramontana, ranging from Brecciole to Spescia, Staffolo to Apiro, in the heart of the Verdicchio classical area, that of the wonderful Jesi Castles.

Moving eastwards to the coast, you can find small plots of Lacrima, Montepulciano and Sangiovese.

The company does not only consist of vineyards, because we have an all-round vision of countryside and agriculture, made of olive groves, sunflowers, corn fields… sun, land and handiwork.

We have a very unique team of winegrowers, mainly young people who have rediscovered the passion for agriculture and wine making, who only harvest by hands.

We still don’t know what our purpose is, but are sure of the fact that we want to exploit the full potential of our territory, to give you the best of our products.
