History of the Cellar
"The company has belonged to the Bellorini family since 1960 when my grandfather, a Milanese entrepreneur, purchased the small estate of 40 hectares of land in magnificent Tuscany as a holiday resort, thanks to the beautiful villa with ancient origins on the hills of Scandicci a few steps from Florence. Here he began his adventure as a winemaker; I belong to the third generation involved in wine production. Since I was a child I have frequented these magnificent places and I have always been in love with them. Recently the opportunity to personally take care of the management of the company has materialized and I am proud of it. My knowledge as a biologist, my passion and my enthusiasm for this work push me to commit myself body and soul, and this experience is having a significant impact on my life. The relationship with the territory is a topic that is particularly close to my heart and therefore, as a first step, I started the conversion of the company to Organic Farming. I believe that collaboration is an essential element for the success of any business and also in our farm each person plays an important and necessary role for the success of the final result. We are a group of people who work together with the same goal. Our philosophy is based on attention to detail and respect for tradition. We work with care and dedication to ensure the highest quality of our wines and our oil. Thanks to the small size of our company, we can dedicate the right amount of time and care to each phase of production, ensuring that each bottle is the result of careful and passionate work."
