"Wine is bottled

poetry"

|Robert Louis Stevenson

A story made of passion, effort and satisfaction.

For four generations the Zerilli family has been passionately dedicated to the cultivation of the vine. Respect for nature, dedication to work, attention to detail: these are the elements that have allowed the Zerilli family to continue to be the spokesman of the vocation of these lands for wine, throughout the twentieth century and beyond.

The year was 1918: The First World War had just ended. Vito Zerilli had fought on the Piave but now he could return home, in his Petrosino, and resume the family business: the cultivation of the vine.

In 1980 his son Vito entered in the family business. The young man, who bears grandfather's name, immediately becomes passionate about the wine world and even today follows all the stages of production.
