The cellar is part of the history of the Verona region and the path that led to its creation sheds light on the lives of people who are used to making courageous choices.
Indeed, Roberta’s parents turned their backs on the businesses of their respective families to pursue together the dream of a wine production company, investing their bodies and souls in the endeavour. Roberto’s courage and imagination were matched by Alberta’s elegance and determination as together, from the 1980s onward, they brought their wines to an appreciative public, first in the Verona region and later in broader international forums, at the same time becoming interpreters and pioneers of the modern concept of hospitality, taking real pleasure in generously welcoming to the cellar guests who wanted to experience it first hand and get to know their faces.
The enterprise and enthusiasm of the parents have guided important choices in their daughter’s life. Having grown up in the countryside, on completion of her classical studies in Verona, Roberta embarked on a career as a lawyer before finding herself dreaming more and more of the life of the winemaker, a path that she too decided to follow. Her passion for wine and everything associated with it ran through her blood and influenced her personal choices in terms of style and ethics. Read more
