In 1996 Francesco Fenech decided to bottle his product until then sold by him and by his father Antonio in the cellar directly from the barrels. Since then the company has adopted modern methods of cultivation of land planted with vines and modern machinery for winemaking, storage and bottling of the product. At the same time the company has acquired new land through their purchase and through rental contracts and now has reached the area planted to Malvasia of 7.0 ha, all enrolled in the Doc.
