In the Veneto region, north of Italy — precisely in the province of Treviso — the two women oversee the cultivation and production of 14 hectares of vineyards bequeathed to them by their father. Initially, some doubted their capabilities; however, nearly four decades later, they have proven themselves to be unparalleled and inimitable (much like their wines). Thus, in the late 1980s, they were pioneers not only in breaking barriers but also in championing a vinification process that begins with meticulous vineyard care. Their first decision was to eschew chemical products, fertilizers, and derivatives. Only in this way could they respect the vineyard's present and ensure its future, now embodied in Elisa, daughter of Ersiliana, and an oenologist who is gradually stepping into the role.
