The Story

After a degree in Gastronomic Sciences and years in advertising, I felt the pull to come back to our family land and live by the rhythms of nature. I chose to give my life to Villa Agavì and to make our hillside an honest project built on living agriculture, natural winemaking and hospitality.

Philosophy

We pick everything by hand into small crates to protect the grapes and the soil. In the cellar we do as little as possible: we ferment in concrete with indigenous yeasts, then let the wine re-ferment naturally in the bottle. That's how we make lively, artisanal Lambrusco and Pignoletto that taste of where they come from.

The Vineyard: Villa Agavì

Villa Agavì sits on the hills of Marano sul Panaro, near Modena. Our vines grow alongside olive trees and native woodland. The clay-limestone soils and steady hillside breezes give the grapes a long, slow ripening. We farm agroecologically: we use green-manure cover crops, look after the living soil, and use no chemicals at all.
