You will cherish it for the brilliance of its nuances, an original and unique character, just like our land.
The taste of our Sun.
Young grapevine, old grapevine. Same vine variety, two different ages: we combine the grapes of the oldest vines, rich in complexity and minerality, with the grapes of the young vineyards, where the fruitiness is more persistent and exuberant.
A seductive combination that infuses each of our wines with personality and expressiveness.
Our journey starts today, following a path we initiated with the valuable collaboration of the oenologist Gianni Menotti, a keen observer and connoisseur of our terroir, a winemaker who knows how to evoke emotions through the wine narrating about a territory, its people and their dreams.
