My father was a farmer, and he transmitted to me his passion for our land, but the first 10 working years, I’ve started in the industrial environment. One day I found the vines of Santa Colomba, located in that wonderful park, a creation of prince Giovannelli: I fell in love, but time was not there yet… University of Oenology in Verona in 2003, then a meeting with Loacker (the one from the wines, not the wafer’s one…) Seven years with him in Montalcino, and an experience in the valley dell’Agno with Franco Masiero. Then a transfert in Lugana, to my university collegue Alessandro Cutolo. Finally I return to the origin of everything: Santa Colomba, and a new beginning…
