When we chose the name of this wine we were thinking
of a great wine that could represent our family...
and our winery. A wine with character and personality,
which reflect the “terroir” where it originates...like our
father Giorgio and our grandfather Quinto. Certainly we
didn’t think we would dedicate it so early to our father
who passed away...
Simply... Love
