The family business has evolved over the centuries, and in 1935 Count Dzekka Alcibiades, who was endowed with courage and entrepreneurial abilities, decided to start the production of wine from their own vineyards. After World War II, Count Giuseppe, continued his father's work and has achieved great success in the field of wine due to the introduction of new methods of cultivation of grapes and vineyard restructuring.
