1991 was the decisive year in which "The Wine from the Hands of an Artist” was born. It is a true story, a living history carried forward over time.
In the beginning the wine was pressed by hand, today it is softly pressed with a pneumatic press in a modern cellar.
Maurizio [Pio] Rocchi, artist and farmer, born in Rome and a true Roman, started to produce his “Vino d’Artista” using land attached to the original family home. The artist puts his artworks on the labels, signing them one by one, giving birth to an itinerant and unique collection every year.
In this same year, Maurizio [Pio] immediately made the necessary adjustments in order to convert the land and farm organicically, motivated by his belief in the value of the natural world.

The special moments brought by the wine to our house give us the strength to go on producing new collections.
