There is a dream
in which all things flow into one another,

and from the center springs
a wine.

There is a dream
in which all things flow into one another,

and from the center springs
a wine.

“When, if not now?”

The story of a search for meaning and for the right place to turn a dream into reality. Or simply put: how an “Austriaco”—initially a newcomer met with amused skepticism—became a respected wine and cuvée master in one of the world’s most renowned wine regions.

“Here I have found my center, and my life is reflected in my wines:
different, distinctive, and in the end, smiling with quiet satisfaction.”

I wish you much pleasure and enjoyment!

Terra Rossa

The soil in this part of Monferrato is known as Terra Rossa—“red earth”: a sandy clay soil that is extremely difficult to cultivate. Terra Rossa is very dense, and vines need considerable strength to grow here.

This is also the main reason why uniquely good and distinctive wines of outstanding quality can mature in this terroir.
