OUR VINEYARDS WERE ONCE THE LAND OF THE ANCIENT AND ILLUSTRIOUS COUNT ALBERTI FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDED ONE OF THE PRINCE BISHOP OF TRENTO, AND CAME INTO POSSESSION OF MY FAMILY OVER A CENTURY AGO. THE LAND WAS PART OF THE DOWRY OF COUNTESS ALBERTI WHEN SHE MARRIED GEZA DELL’ADAMI DE TARCZAL, ADMIRAL OF THE ROYAL AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN FLEET, AND MY DIRECT ANCESTOR.
OUR WINE PRODUCTION STARTED TO FLOURISH IN THE GOLDEN YEARS OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN EMPIRE, WHEN “MARZEMINO” WAS ALWAYS SERVED AT THE IMPERIAL COURT.
