This is a story of a family, talking about passion. A family with viticulture in the DNA, a land buried by the sun and heated by the periodic lava flows, a vine whose origins are legendary. The Lacryma Christi and other great Volcanic wines story is written by a gorgeous and wild nature and by an enthusiastic family who knows since a long time how to pamper this land growing its precious fruits. The azienda, owning to the same family since 1800, is nowadays owned by Paolo and his son Giuseppe, who dedicate their lives to the family’s wine yards and to the wine-making art.
