Who We Are

our story

We are an Italian-American family that moved to the USA in 2000: from the left Denise, Fabio, Caterina, Grigio e Alessio. After a first visit to the property on May 29, 2021, an offer was made in June of the same year. The acquisition process was completed on July 15, 2021. The purchasing process for the property was relatively quick and efficient because we fell in love with the place.
As new homeowners, we look forward to making the property our own and creating new memories. We plan to renovate, decorate, and enjoy the space; this is an exciting time

Alessio and Denise

Alessio has a passion for viticulture and winemaking, which has been a driving force behind the purchase. Having a space where he could pursue his interests and develop his skills has been a significant factor in our decision.
Denise’s interest in business and entrepreneurship has also influenced our decision. With her entrepreneurial spirit, she has been excited about the potential opportunities of owning a property, especially one with such a rich potential and cultural significance.

Santa Caterina, Monforte San Giorgio, Italy

Nostalgia also played a role in purchasing this beautiful property. We have fond memories of summers spent in Contrada Santa Caterina in Monforte San Giorgio, Sicily, Italy, from 1994 to 1998. There, a small vineyard was used to produce the wine for family consumption. This connection to the property and the memories that it evocates has made it a particularly compelling option for us.
Overall, a combination of personal and emotional factors led to our decision to purchase the property in 2021.
