The producer
Fugnano e Bombereto
Fugnano is a medieval hamlet first recorded in 1254, emptied by the 1348 plague and later farmed by sharecroppers. After the war the Sicilian Commendatore Andrea Pensabene bought and restored it; when he died in 1997 his granddaughter Laura Dell'Aira, then 23, left her law studies in Palermo to bring in the harvest and never left. She now runs the estate, growing Vernaccia, Sangiovese and Colorino alongside Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, all hand-picked.
