Since 2006 the company promotes not only wines, but also the rich heritage of history and art of the area.

Refosco is a variety that I really like, able to offer products of absolute excellence. This wine has less lofty aspirations but looks like a good table wine that highlights the cool side and crispy this vine. Scents and tastes revolve around red fruit, a freshness that makes the almost crunchy wine and marked tannins and rough. sufficient persistence. In essence, honest wine, ideal to accompany a good lunch.
