Our Winery, the right mix of Tradition and Innovation
Cantine dal 1933
It was in 1933 that Luigi founded his winery in the countryside of the small village of Castel San Pietro Terme, which is in the outskirts of the beautiful city of Bologna.
Today, the original building of that quaint little winery and homestead still remains, but it is now surrounded by 140 hectare of vineyards and the environmentally-friendly site of our beautiful state-of-the-art winery.
