WHAT THEY SAY

The company was born from the visionary will of the patron Roberto Petacchi , to transform the family business, a traditional farm, into a winery, with the aim of recovering ancient vineyards, real crus of French conception (among these are Boboli and Il Giardino dei Vescovi ) to dedicate his life to the production of Vermentino wine.

A bold choice which, in the long journey that brings us up to today (just under 30 years), has proved to be enlightened, as demonstrated by the numerous awards that the company's wines have received in recent years in Italy and beyond.

The philosophy, from the very first steps, has been focused on the research of the least environmental impact and in the least possible use of treatments. In our vineyard we cultivate in an ancient and healthy way, to produce wines without pesticides, using natural fertilizers.

WHAT WE SAY

There is an awe inspiring dedication to the Vermentino grape. The amount of care given to ensure each vineyard, based on its unique position, proximity and exposure to the sea and its winds, is given the chance to express its own ‘soul’. Roberto produces beautifully nuanced, structured and complex wines.
