Winery history

The project began with the meeting of Californian viticulturist and winemaker Mark Shannon and Italian manager Elvezia Sbalchiero: they met in Sicily and shortly after moved to Apulia to begin their winemaking activity. The winery is known for its artisanal approach and its focus on manual work in the vineyard and winery; many producer profiles date the brand’s founding to the late 1990s.

Production philosophy

Artisanal production with hand harvesting and minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar; strong focus on local varieties and on conveying the transparency of the territory. The winery declares practices aimed at preserving the natural character of the blends and carries a self‑certification "Vegan friendly" for some lines, avoiding invasive winemaking techniques.

Terroir and vineyards

Region: Apulia; tasting room and offices in Noci. The wines are linked to the Primitivo territory and to other Apulian production zones, using grapes from traditional alberello-trained vineyards.

Awards and recognitions

Some sources indicate that the first vintage received a gold medal at the International Wine Challenge in London; the presence of awards varies depending on the source.
