Elio did not give up and has not given up now, decided to change way to give another interpretation to wine, favoring elegance, finesse and balance, following a severe labor in the vineyard, adopting in the winery new techniques of vinification and aging aimed to enhance vine variety and territory, with stubbornness still chasing his dream.
Our small size allows still today an easy management, family–run under the constant supervision of Elio. The company currently consists of approximately 10 hectares and its average annual production is of about 60,000 bottles.
