The story of this small winery is tied to that of two brothers, born in Milan to a mother from Piacenza, originally from Vigolzone, and a Milanese father. Stefano’s passion for wine began burning from the age of seventeen, and the purchase of a holiday house in the hills of Piacenza became the perfect excuse to turn that passion into the purpose of his life. Ferruccio supported him, and after only a few years the two decided to buy two plots of land bordering the house, one of which included an old farmhouse called — precisely — La Tosa. The first vineyards were planted soon afterwards, marking the beginning of an increasingly engaging adventure. The real turning point came in 1984, when Stefano and Ferruccio decided almost overnight to turn their passion for the countryside into a full-time profession, dedicating themselves entirely to viticulture and winemaking. In 1985 they produced their very first wine: just one thousand bottles of Gutturnio. Since then, much has changed. Today the estate counts around 19 hectares of vineyards and a production far removed from that very first lightly sparkling red.
