The Cesconi family has been tending their vines in the bucolic village of Pressano since the 18th century. In 1994, after a brief stint working with Randal Graham and Bob Linquist at Bonny Doon and Qupe respectively, head winemakers Roberto and Lorenzo Cesconi embarked on an ambitious plan to convert the 20 hectare family estate to biodynamics. Today, the four Cesconi brothers have embraced biodynamic principles and organic farming methods and planted to local varietals that reflect the viticultural and gastronomic traditions of the region. They eschew the use of any sort of additives both in the vineyard and in the cellar. These are handcrafted wines of outstanding transparency and substance that showcase the local terroir.
