Our family's dream became reality: to return to Italy, after several generations had lived in Argentina, and passionately work the land to produce a great wine! This has always been my father's dream and I have chosen to join him and our partners in making it happen.
After years of research, in 2005 we found a plot of land at Civitella in Val di Chiana, in the province of Arezzo - a part of Tuscany still surprisingly little-known for its production of fine wines -. We immediately felt a connection with the area.
Although many modifications were required, the land seemed perfect to us, like the team of professionals we found and who threw themselves willingly into our adventure, trying to do the best we could. After our first harvest in 2006 we realised that our intuition was leading us closer to the creation of something extraordinary.
2008 marked the first release of our products and with it a new challenge!
