We are a family-run vineyards and winery focusing on the production of authentic wines coming from selected grapes from our own estate.
Winemaking and bottling started up in 2020 thanks to the extraordinary vision of Marco Funiati, owner and engineer. After experiences abroad and driven by uncountable passion for his Salento homeland, he converts into wine the flair of his production philosophy.
Wines are elegant and true, reflecting the local grape variety and never flattened on market stereotypes.
Thanks to small size and great passion, we manage to do all operations in vineyard and winery by ourselves. We pay extreme care for every detail in wine production, from vine planting to pruning to harvest. We harvest our grapes exclusively by hand to achieve the maximum respect of every single berry. We believe excellent wines only comes from excellent grapes.
