The King of the hill.
The same vineyard, two different ages, we combine the grapes from the old vineyards, more complex and with more minerality, with the ones from the young vineyard that presented a more fruity flavour.
A stimulating combination that gives personality and expressiveness to each of our wines.
Our journey begins today, a trip that started with the precious collaboration with the oenologist Gianni Menotti who is an attentive observer and expert of our territory, creator of wines that give emotions and that tell the story of a land, its people and their dreams.
A story about beauty and courage.
