Destiny, or ventura, is a word that appears over and over in the history of the Brandolini family. This is the history of a man and his burning love for the place that witnessed his birth and growth. And it was precisely destiny that brought the young Bandino from Paris, where he studied, but without any great enthusiasms, to his experience in the kibbutz life, west of Haifa. His immersion there in a life in contact with the earth excited him to such a degree that he took up studies in Agronomy at Texas A.& M. University.

After concluding his studies, Brandino’s return to Venice and to his beloved Vistorta once again aroused strong emotions, as a place that had provided play space during an happy childhood now became his home as an adult. But destiny intervened once again: following a stay at Château Greysac's estate in Bordeaux, he made the decision, along with winemaker George Pauli, to focus totally on the merlot grape. Results were not slow to follow, for after just a few years, prestigious accolades amply confirmed that he had selected the correct path, and Vistorta was soon saluted as one of Italy’s truly great wines.
