About Winery and Wines
I must thank my husband Franco Schellino who in 1989 decided to leave his graphic work and came back home. We revived the old vines planted by my grandfather. We learnt to prune and tie the vines working together, my grandfather, my parents and my husband. Franco has a special sensibility about plants and animals which is rare, he has the capacity to worm secrets to improve the well being of the plants. My husband is a quiet man, but with patience and attention it’s easy to observe the love and respect he has for the land. It has been a privilege for me working together all these years.
After spending many years on these hills, the work was demanding, there were many varieties in the wine production, the market was complex and I didn’t feel confident. One thing was certain, we had passion and enthusiasm for our land, our hills are ideal for producing high quality wines. I think we could have the best wines also using the so called “international vine plant” , however we continued to use our traditional classic vine plant in our stubborn manner.
