I belong to a family of entrepreneurs that has approached agriculture in quite recent times, believing in a production project focussed on a modern vision of viticulture and oenology. We have believed in the potentialities of Salento, a land which has traditionally been particularly suitable for high-quality viticulture.

With great determination and modesty we have caught the value of such productive tradition, recognizing the ancient link between man and nature, land and culture, which lies at the origin of great wines of territory. Vintage after vintage, we have given new lifeblood to our production project, willing to do better and to achieve new and more ambitious targets of quality and of entrepreneurial organization.

Nowadays, also thanks to thousands of passionate wine-lovers attracted by our lands and by our products, the oenology in Salento shines in a new light, among the grapes rows placed along the Adriatic coasts and in the hinterland of the plateaus, in the vinification areas, in the shadow of the ageing cellars. Negroamaro, Primitivo, Susumaniello are no longer forgotten varieties of an archaic agriculture: they can represent a new added value of great importance and significance for Italy and for the whole production network of the high-quality wine.

Words are not strong enough to touch your heart. We prefer our wines to thrill you: with their scents, with their full-bodied flavours, with the elegant and personal integrity of their character. It’s a world waiting to be discovered and we have been loving it for a long time.
