?My family?s first contact with the world of viniculture was in 1961 when my father, Dino Carletti, bought 22 hectares of land in the Comune of Montepulciano.He planted the first specialty vineyards in the region.The inspiration for this investment came more from the heart than from economic motives.It was dictated by my father?s desire to maintain a living contact with the place of his youth and the culture of his origins.
