She settles in the hills of Gradoli, on Lake Bolsena, where the land, rich in volcanic minerals and Etruscan history, calls her to stay. Her first experience in the field led her to work at Le Coste di Gradoli and then set up on her own after a few years. Now the company has 10ha, of which about 3ha will be planted with native vines in the coming years. In addition, it has about two hectares of old vines recovered from abandonment and scattered in the Gradoli countryside. The vines are cultivated using biodynamic methods, respecting the rhythms of nature. In the cellar, you work the grapes...and that's it, with no additives of any kind. The wines reflect the earth, the terroir, and the winemaker.
