WINE DESCRIPTION
Working alone, Roberto separated from his brother Gianni at a young age, allowing Gianni to continue the family vineyard alone. Gianni, the "normal" one, and Roberto, the "quality fetishist," were too different for collaboration. At 60, Roberto appears remarkably youthful and mentally/physically fit. Over decades, he diligently acquired six hectares of prime vineyards from scratch. Initially, he couldn't afford yield restrictions and biodynamic practices, relying on the yields for financing and survival.
