The story
The estate is a historic property in the Tolna area: the official website dates its origins to the late 18th century and notes that, after a long period under local families, international attention arrived in the early 1990s. In subsequent years the project was supported by figures connected to international winemaking families; from the late 1990s/early 2000s, technical management saw the direct involvement of Italian entities in the estate's revival.
