HISTORY
Welcome to a land of vineyards of ancient tradition that even dates back to the Roman Empire, a land in which viticulture, art and culture are inextricably intertwined, "land of wine" according to the name that countless generations of winemakers have unanimously conferred on South Tyrol. For almost a century, viticulture has been part of our family's history and the enthusiasm for wine is also deeply rooted in the heart of our third generation. I love and live my environment where culture and nature intertwine, tradition and innovation, respect for the past and just consideration for future prospects.
