Siemàn: The Art of Spontaneous Fermentation in the Colli Berici
In the heart of the enchanting Colli Berici, in Villaga, lies Siemàn, a farm and craft brewery born from the passion of the Filippini brothers—Marco, Daniele, and Andrea—founders in 2014. The name itself, which in the Venetian dialect means six hands, encapsulates the family spirit and the shared work of a project deeply rooted in the territory.
The company spans nine hectares of hilly land, where the cultivation of indigenous vineyards follows strict organic and sustainable principles. This approach guarantees superior quality grapes, healthy and authentic, which are transformed exclusively through spontaneous fermentations without the addition of additives or invasive treatments. The result is a wine production that expresses to the fullest the unique character of the local terroir.
Siemàn’s Beers: Natural Fermentations and Territorial Identity
In 2017, Siemàn broadened its horizons by creating a craft brewery attached to the winery, maintaining intact the philosophy based on respect for nature and territory. The brewery’s production stands out for the use of spontaneous or mixed fermentations, relying on the native microbial flora present in the vineyards and directly on the grapes themselves.
Among the elements that make Siemàn’s beers unique:
- Use of grapes grown in their own vineyards, integrating them into the beer recipes
- Aging in wooden barrels, which enriches the aromatic profiles
- Varied styles such as Wild Sour Ales and Farmhouse Ales, characterized by complexity and freshness
- A strong bond between product and territory, allowing the very essence of the Colli Berici to be perceived in the beers
Their production is distinguished by a balance between experimentation and tradition, telling stories of natural microbial contaminations of the place and rediscovering ancient processing methods.
Siemàn is not just a brand, but a manifesto of sustainability and territorial enhancement: a daily commitment to creating genuine products, deeply rooted in the landscapes and culture of Veneto. Their offering provides a sensory experience that goes beyond simple drinking, embracing a way of life that respects and celebrates nature.
