Our story begins in 1971, the year in which Genuino Del Duca, a former carabiniere from Abruzzo, moved to Tuscany and decided to retire from the army after twenty years to fulfill his dream: to create, together with his wife Ivana, a reality linked to good food and good wine, their two great passions. Thus they opened the restaurant "Il Vecchio Mulino" in Saline di Volterra and in 2001 a second restaurant in Palazzo Inghiarmi in the historical center of the city. The restaurant business increases the passion for food and wine and feeds the desire to buy a farm in the countryside of Volterra where it would be possible to produce wine, an excellent product of a land where the wine tradition dates back to the Etruscan era. The wish came true and in 2003, after selling the restaurant in Saline di Volterra, the Del Duca family bought Marcampo, an early eighteenth-century farmhouse abandoned around the 1950s. The restoration of the old ruin was completed in 2009 and Marcampo became a real jewel in the heart of the Natural Park of the Balze and the Calanchi.
