Elena and Enzo Patrone carry on a tradition that has been handed down for over a hundred years, that of the production of a wine made unmistakable by the technique of terracing.

The dry sandstone walls help to combat the hydrogeological instability because the dry walls retain the heart from the landslide slopes, facilitating the passage of excess water. In the ravines among the stones there is also a great biodiversity of insects, wild flowers, small fauna.
On these terraces there used to be cultivation of vegetables, potatoes, legumes, cereals, but the stone walls also created an ideal microclimate in particular for the vine: in fact, at night the stone returns the heat absorbed during the day. The Dolcetto vine has found an ideal habitat there thanks to the presence of calcareous-marly soils facing south.
It is called heroic agriculture because it is made of slopes, efforts and sacrifice. All rewarded with a memorable result.

Among myths, night fairy tales and mysteries of nature, Patrone Vini collects a particular essence, made not only of intense aromas, but also of captivating stories and memories destined to last over time. Their production comes from a management of the vineyard in full respect of the unspoiled nature of these lands and from a vinification with advanced techniques. This is how modern wines, capable of satisfying the most demanding palates, are born.
Integrity and tireless passion in total respect of the territory. These are the values on which Patrone Vini has always been based.

Only a few years later we realized that Maga Luna was nothing more than the face of the Full Moon that was reflected in those dark waters, illuminating them in white

When it was our turn and we started working these lands, we found a commemorative statue of a woman turned upside down. Once the meaning was discovered, the sculpture became our symbol of luck.
In 1978 these statues were made in tribute to the very few women who survived the terrible plague.
