From this winery

It is a trading/importing company that was founded in Milan in 2022. The project was born from the desire to leave our mark on the continuous evolution of a product and a market, which seems to never die: wine.

We, Federico, Filippo and Giacomo, are three oenologists with the idea and ambition of bringing French wines to Italy made from grapes we have selected and vinified. To make this possible, the first part of the job is to look for partners, more than partners, affinities. The wines of Oenosapiens are in fact the fruit of a technical and conceptual collaboration: the producers with whom we work are people we have met along our French past and present, they are friends, companions in the vineyard and cellar companions.
