My Vineyards: Home To the Cabreo Legacy
The narrative of Ambrogio Folonari goes beyond that of a passionate individual or a dynamic entrepreneur in the wine industry. It is, in essence, a first-person account intricately linked with the historical, social, and economic events of an entire nation, mirroring the destiny of wine in Italy.
