From this winery
When we talk about wine, we speak first of all about territory; we talk about work and sacrifice of men and women, who really believe that agriculture can save the earth. Each winemaker has a special relationship with their land, perhaps difficult to describe in words, but simple to capture in the aromas and authentic flavors of wine.
