A memory became wine
My passion for wine founds its roots in a memory that dazzles my mind of green light, on a warm summer afternoon, in my beloved granfather’s vineyard.
Very often, history gives to wine a soul and a heart, leaving at the time the task of creating a great wine. So, I turned that beautiful memory into wine, going back to cultivating those vines, able to bring you back in time, talking about my origins and my land, telling a story to the new generations, destined to last forever.
