The story began in 1934, when Giovanni's father Bernardino bought the property. Giovanni’s sons Dino and Pietro joined the enterprise in 1996, thus becoming the family’s fourth generation of growers. With them the estate began to change direction and expand; it was their decision to begin bottling wine, while taking great care to choose grapes From 10,000 bottles at the beginning, the estate now produces an impressive 80,000 bottles, all the while managing to remain a family-run business and keep the enthusiasm that goes with personal ownership
