Pairings
Later, at the age of fourteen I started to work. I started my agricultural experience in the vineyard, learning to know the vines and their vegetative cycle. I learnt how to cure them, prune them and how to do grafts.
I believe in Brunello di Montalcino and in the unique characteristics that the Sangiovese cultivated in these lands can produce.
The Cava d’Onice company is run solely by me and my family.
My wines must be the pure expression of the territory, in which they are born. Read more
