Before starting his own winery, this ambitious oenologist (a graduate of the University of Piacenza) gained his first experience at Antinori, the world-famous Tuscan wine producer of, among others, Tignanello. In Australia (Rolf Binder Wines) he studied Australian winemaking techniques and compared them with the Italian ones. He also spent a long period in Piedmont (Costa di Bussia), where he deepened and broadened his technical knowledge, including advanced oak-ageing techniques.
