Marotti Campi is a 100% family business. In the mid-19th century, the Marotti family bought the property in the Sant'Amico village of Morro d'Alba and built the villa there as the centre of the sharecropping estate. An excerpt from the magazine Giornale di Agricoltura of 1886 tells of Cesare Marotti's first vineyard of "...8,000 plants planted at a distance of 1.20 metres by 1 metre using the Guyot system". At the time, the main crop was wheat, along with other arable crops, but over the years and with the passing of the generations, the land was converted into vineyards.

In 1991, Giovanni Marotti Campi began a project to modernise the vineyards, rationalising production and concentrating it on the two most representative and typical vines of the area, Verdicchio and Lacrima di Morro d'Alba. After a successful career as a manager, his passion for this land and for the family property drove him to build the modern winery in 1999 and together with his wife Francesca and son Lorenzo decided to bring new life and energy to this place. Today it is still Giovanni who runs the winery together with Lorenzo and Francesca, who also takes care of the hospitality in the Vigna Sant'Amico Country House, which was created from the renovation of an old farmhouse surrounded by our vineyards.
