Description

History

Guardian of a centuries-old tradition of the town and of his family, Luigi Viola is a retired elementary school teacher, who has always been passionate about nature and agriculture. After more than 35 years of teaching, he made the decision to devote all his energies to the recovery, enhancement and dissemination of a nectar that was in danger of disappearing: Moscato di Saracena. Involving the whole family, made up of his wife Margherita and their three sons Roberto, Alessandro and Claudio, to whom he passed on his passion and love for the land, Luigi increased the production of this meditation wine. Once presented to the public and industry experts, it achieved immediate success. Over time, Luigi has expanded the range of products, always focusing on quality, authenticity and elegance, using native vines such as Magliocco Dolce, Guarnaccia, Malvasia and Mantonico.
