Azienda Agricola Possa, established in 2004 by Samuele Heydi Bonanini, exemplifies heroic viticulture in the Cinque Terre. The winery is located in Riomaggiore, the most southern village of the five towns. Bonanini, a native of the region, has dedicated himself to reviving ancient winemaking traditions and preserving the biodiversity of this unique landscape. The vineyards of Possa are perched on steep, terraced slopes that descend dramatically towards the sea. This challenging terrain necessitates manual labor, as machinery is impossible to use. Bonanini's commitment extends to avoiding chemical products in his vineyards, ensuring respect for the ecosystem. He has also focused on recovering and replanting nearly extinct indigenous grape varieties. Possa produces a range of wines, including the renowned Sciacchetrà, a sweet dessert wine, and Cinque Terre DOC. Bonanini also experiments with ancient methods, such as a passito made with red grapes and an infusion of peach leaves. In addition to winemaking, the farm produces honey and limoncello, showcasing the diverse agricultural potential of the Cinque Terre. A visit to Azienda Agricola Possa offers a glimpse into the history, culture, and traditions of winemaking in this unique region.
