When we chose the name of this wine we were thinking of a great wine that could represent our family… and our farm. A wine with character and personality, the symbol of the land where it originates...like our father Giorgio and our grandfather Quinto. Certainly we didn’t know we would dedicate it to our father who passed away… GiorgioQuinto "Paolo and Alberto Baggini" "Paolo
