My family were farmers cultivators of tobacco and olives . The road to our estates passed through small vineyards , the last ones that had left the almost monoculture of tobacco; Very young I participated in the first vintages with an indeterminate joy. The image and the aromas from the basement of Barba Giannis where we bought wine remained in my memory . When man envisions the future , he delves into his memories in order to be able to compose it . In 1990 when the tobacco with the many medicines and fertilizers run out we plant our first vine we decide to integrate all our Estates in the Organic Farming with the certification of DIOnet.<\/p>\n
