It may sound weird but making wine is not that different from taking a picture. I've grown up among images, and I've always been fascinated about the similarity that exists between these two forms of art. 

Oliviero Toscani says about photography: 

"Taking pictures is not about considering reality as an object, but making reality become an object. 

It is about putting dimensions back together: relief, movement, emotion, idea, meaning and desire to make everything real"

Wine is about concentrating all in one bottle: vintage, nature, light, wind and experiences. We aim to find a balance among vines, tastes, smells, tannins and acidity. It is a matter of mixing a good amount of sensitivity and rigor in addition to a healthy kick of craziness. 

Everything matches. In taking pictures one can tell reality through sight. In making wine, one can tell reality through taste. Both arts are surprising and captivating. 

For this wine we use Syrah and Cabernet Franc grapes from well defined lots of the vineyard on draining and iron soils. The grapes are meticulously picked and selected by hand before they undergo fermentation in controlled temperature steel tanks. Aging occurs for 12 months in Slavonia oak barrels and eventually rest for about 36 months in bottles.
