Camillo Donati Il Mio Ovidio is a red wine born from a moment of intuition, the kind that only arises when love for the vine and friendship intersect. The idea of vinifying the croatina variety in a dry style came naturally during the early years of Camillo's journey as a winemaker, and it was the complicity with his friend Ovidio that inspired its name. The spark of that "Sris un gran ven!" ("it would be a great wine!") which Ovidio uttered in the local dialect when Camillo asked for his opinion on this idea, will forever be linked to this wine, a silent yet profound tribute to the wisdom, passion, and zest for life of its inspiration.

From the first vineyards planted by grandfather Orlando in Arola to today's viticultural decisions, the family has maintained an unwavering commitment to the land, tradition, and authenticity of their wines.
