Custodians
La Distesa is a rural community situated in the inland area of Le Marche and extended over two country estates in the municipality of Cupramontana, in the province of Ancona. The prevailing activity is the cultivation of grapevines for the production of high quality natural wines, but the farm consists also of olive trees, arable land, fodder and forest. Organic agricultural practices are used in all farm activities, certified by CCPB.
We consider ourselves custodians of this natural environment, the agricultural landscape of Le Marche: a living organism generated by the continuous and secular work of man. In addition to agricultural production La Distesa also offers the opportunity to stay at the family agriturismo in the Esinante district.

In movement
We have always been active in movements, associations and collectives that work for the protection and promotion of the territory, of organic agriculture, of an ecological vision of life and the economy. We have participated with enthusiasm in the project t/Terra and Libertá/Critical Wine and we identify with the values and practices of La Terra Trema.
We were the founders of Cupramontana-Accoglie, the association that unites the agriturismo and B&Bs of our municipality; we are members of La Terra e il Cielo, the historic organic farming cooperative of Le Marche to whom we give our cereals and legumes; we are the founding members of Terroir Marche, a consortium of organic wine producers, a beautiful story of participation and union between winemakers; we are among the founders of the Association La Strada del Gusto di Cupramontana that unites the wineries of the municipality. We work with Gruppi di Acquisto Solidali (solidarity purchase groups) because we firmly believe that consumers are also co-producers.
