Selvagrossa
Selvagrossa, located in the hills of Pesaro facing the Adriatic coast, literally means “large forest.” It got the name because the property was originally a dense woodland. The Taddei brothers, who own the property today, say their grandfather told them the Selvagrossa farm was once so thick with trees it was easier to pass over than to cross. Over the course of the 20th Century, economic upheaval and two world wars, the land was almost completely deforested by people rebuilding their homes and warming their families in the harsh post-war winters. The winery was founded by Alessandro and Alberto Taddei in 2002 using the vineyards of the family farm left to him by their grandfather. The farm is small, with only four hectares of vineyards, but they strive to make a sincere and quality wines which expresses the terroir of their land.
