It is paradoxical that by exercising a profession where the main craftsmen of the result that we then sell, that is to say the vines, have roots well planted in the earth, so they can not move. Yet our family's history is made up of travel. This prompted my great-grandfather Giovanni to emigrate to New York, only to come back and buy the land and house where we are today and where my grandfather Alfonso gave birth to the current business. This was done by my father Giovanni, who, for much of his life as a boy and young man, was divided between Tuscany and Emilia, where he met my mother, Paola. Erico and my brother Alfonso were born in Bologna. We returned with our family to Abruzzo in 1986, but then the various university studies, oenology myself and Alfonso's advertising communication, saw us for long periods respectively in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Belgium, after having had some experiences around the world. I returned to the company in 2015, with my wife Mariangela (Friulian, even proudly carnic), and my son Valerio. While my brother Alfonso builds his wonderful family in Brussels with his Jessi and his little Milo, giving us a hand from a distance with all aspects of marketing. Traditionally, we continue to make wine and travel.
