Cantine Lizzano

A veil of red earth on a layer of calcareous rock greedily kissed by the sun and agitated by adverse winds that filter through the dry walls, spreading the scents of the Mediterranean and olive trees. It is here that our vineyards have their roots, in the land on which Luigi Ruggieri, an enlightened doctor and farmer, was ready to bet. Back in 1959, he brought together a group of winemakers to enhance local production, recovering ancient farming practices and combining them with modern winemaking techniques. With the harvest of 1961 the Cooperative Society Cantine Lizzano was born.
