On average, we get about one bottle per vine—sometimes more in good years, sometimes less in bad ones (due to hail, spring frost, etc.). This means we’re able to produce approximately 3,000 bottles of May (Sangiovese), 1,500 bottles of Dan (Syrah), and 500 bottles of Ali (Petit Verdot).
My roots and my land are in Italy, but I live and work in Switzerland. After the wine is bottled, I import most of the production into Switzerland and sell it from here, which is easier for me.
I travel to Umbria several times a year to personally oversee the key stages of production—for example, winter pruning, green harvesting, grape picking, and bottling. My cousin, Wolfgang Giannò, handles most of the vineyard work, while my friend Fabrizio Fimiani is in charge of turning the grapes into delicious drops of pleasure.
We only started selling and marketing our wine in the summer of 2021. Depending on how things go, we may decide to expand production. We’ve already begun renting a small organic plot of Pinot Noir, so you can expect more products in the coming years. Also, I’m quite sure my wife would love to have some bubbles dedicated to her… 🙂
