The oldest vineyard dates back to 1935 and has always been called the 'Vineyard of the Empire'. The vineyard was planted by His Royal Highness Duke Amedeo d'Aosta, Vice-King of Ethiopia, and so named to commemorate the victory in the African War and the birth of the Italian Colonial Empire with the conquest of Abyssinia. To this end, the Duke commissioned his uncle, His Royal Highness Count Emanuele Filiberto of Turin, General Designate of the Army and General of the Cavalry, to supervise the work to complete the vineyard as quickly as possible. The work proceeded not without difficulty due to a 30% difference in height that forced the land to be filled in and subsequently terraced, which is still visible today and was completed in 1939.
