About the Producer

Marco Barbi has always lived on this farm. The history of the vineyard is based on a family tradition. Under the guidance of his father, as was the custom in the 60s, wine was made for the house, and the remaining part of the grapes, produced on 2.5 hectares of the property, was sold. Later he decided to leave and do something else. He studied design and started designing furniture for a local industry. But the bond with my land was visceral and at the end of the 90s I felt the strong calling. The vineyard needed replanting and I returned to it and began a profound modernization of the production.
