Cantina Panevino

It is not easy for me to define a clear beginning. My work has always been a kind of ongoing transformation, rooted in my family experience.

After losing my father, I grew up with my mother’s family, a farming family where vineyards played an important role. At first, I was just observing, but at eighteen I began managing the vines on my own, experimenting and supporting myself through bulk wine sales.

Alongside different educational experiences, I gradually started working with bottled wine, initially without labels. The label came only after twenty years, in 2004.

Throughout all these stages, one element has always remained constant: the use of grapes only—nothing else. No synthetic treatments in the vineyard, no corrections in the cellar, and no use of sulphites.

The first label marked a deeper identity for my wines, which became more conceptual, almost psychedelic—expressing a parallel, dreamlike dimension, aiming to release thoughts and ideas, like a painting or a song.

Today I manage around 9 hectares of vineyards, divided into fifteen small parcels with different exposures, located between 450 and 650 metres above sea level, on predominantly schist soils, cultivating around forty grape varieties.

The training system is almost entirely bush vine (alberello).
