But it is thanks to Luigi Dessilani, remembered by all as “il nonno” (granpa), that the wine making activity turned into a true business. His is in fact the great merit of having enlarged the company by purchasing several properties, but especially of having labelled the bottles with the name “Dessilani” printed in clear letters. This happened in 1892, the year in which the company was founded.
Ever since then a process of continuous renovation, guided by Enzio Lucca the current descendant, has involved each company department, from the vineyards to the ageing cellars, but always fully respecting “nonno Luigi’s” traditions and guidelines.
Tradition and modernity blend in a process of constant growth.
