Growing up in the vibrant multicultural city, they found solace in each other's shared heritage and dreams of exploring the world. From romantic strolls through the Grand Place to cozy evenings spent in quaint Italian cafes, their bond only deepened over the years.
Fueling their wanderlust, Gianluca and Selena embarked on numerous adventures across continents, always seeking new experiences and flavors. They visited vineyards across the world, from Syrah of sunny Australia, to Pinot Noir of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, they fell in love with Mount Etna’s elegance and unique terroir. Enchanted by the island's ancient vineyards and volcanic soil, they vowed to one day create something of their own.
After years of planning, Gianluca and Selena finally realized their dream by establishing their vineyard on the fertile slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and steeped in tradition, their vineyard became a sanctuary where they could cultivate their love for each other and for the art of winemaking.
