A man once told me: 

"If you tell me about your children, you make me fall in love with them. If you tell me about somebody else's children then it is one of the many stories..."

Well then, let me tell you about my children: their names are Luce and Romeo. They are brilliant and funny. They laugh and cry. They learn from me and teach me. They show me the world from a different prospective by teaching me what the good things in life are.

Why have I chosen the pigeon? My greatest passion is about homing pigeons which I've been training and racing for many years. For me they mean escape, a passion. They are my children too whose presence I cannot miss. I see myself in these homing pigeons; they are stuck to the place where they raised and wherever they are released they fly to come back home. Sometimes they manage to fly for thousands of miles in a day to come back. This has always been my path in life. Wherever I've been, I have always felt the need to go back to the place where I grew up.

Lumeo is made with Syrah grapes. These are fermented and macerated for about 6 months in terracotta and cocciopesto vats adding a small percentage of white grapes of Greco. This is a very unique expression of Syrah in coastal Tuscany.
