A bench. That’s why Costanza Chirivino absolutely wanted to take us, on a hot and sunny day, to the top of her hills. A bench, up high, overlooking these lands. A place that invites you to remain silent and to work with your eyes and your imagination. (more…)

The first Alessio Komjanc label dates back to 1973. Today the winery, passed from father Alessio to his sons Beniamin, Roberto, Patrik and Ivan, owns vineyards covering 24 hectares. (more…)

A chance meeting, in Calabria, during Jazz’Inn organized by the Ampioraggio Foundation, of which we are honored to be part. It is on this occasion that we meet Rosalba Pizzuti, and we begin talking about lavender. (more…)
