The search of genuine wines

Owner Dario Serrentino has always enjoyed the contrasts of this coastal growing area, which he calls "a desert next to the beach". Over the years, he’s learned to coax extremely elegant wines from this receding coast of limestone, which, he says, is "the magic to produce wines with tension, freshness, and complex salinity". In Dario’s best vintages, his red and white wines have a tapering svelte finish, cool and salt dusted. Drinking them is akin to a dive into the nearby Ionian Sea on a hot summer day.
