A 17.5-hectare farm was born in 2001 out of a spiritual calling: "The land my mother left me was arable farmland. Yet, I felt the need to turn it into a vineyard; guided—as if by a supernatural entity—I planted 90,000 vines over the years. I am certain she guides me every day, acting as the spirit while I provide the hands, even if, from time to time... she gets distracted. In this way, I know that almost every decision I make will be the right one, for she leads, checks, and steers me. With her immense and infinite kindness, she assists me in this endeavor—a mission dedicated to leaving my children a landscape even more beautiful than the one she bequeathed to me."   – Alberto Salvadori, owner.
