4 A story that sinks its roots in a remote past, beginning in rom an idea of Knight Vincenzo Pugliesi and continues with his son in law Ignazio who passionately dedicates himself to the cultivation of the vineyards and olive groves. In the 6 s his son Vincenzo inherits this love and today Giusy and Ezio continue the family tradition maintaining strong the bond with the land.

An area where every smallest and, only apparently, insiglificant nuance tells the story of men who have always worked the land, loved and protected the territory.
