Cara Mia is produced by the family farmers in La Delizia in the heart Grave del Fruili, which is located in northeastern Italy. Their approach might be summed up as a respect for tradition alongside a commitment to innovation. For more than 80 years, the farmers of La Delizia have insisted that quality must be paramount in everything they do.
The farmers utilize state-of-the-art technology in the vineyards to continually monitor humidity levels in the soil, ambient temperature, sugar levels and many other metrics they consider critical to the optimal development of the berries on the vine. The farmers pay particular attention to clonal selection, micro-climatic conditions and achieving perfect physiological ripeness for every cultivar.
