“Great wine. Recommend the visit.”

“A picturesque place with perspective, the wine tradition begins in the 50s, and officially it is private property since 1995, where a farmer with his family tried to overcome problems and managed to have 500 hectares of vineyards and over 600 workers. Today I met a new brand and I am going to taste it!”
