Ticino, home of Merlot. It is here that his grandfather, Severino Carlevari, began his entrepreneurial activity in the early 1900s, focusing on the bottling and marketing of wines, a passion that he passed on to his son.

But it was in the 1960s that his nephew, Gian Piero, thanks to his studies as an oenologist, began to dedicate himself to improving the quality of production in Molinazzo di Arbedo, Bellinzona, transforming the company from a family business to an industrial one.

The new winemaking cellar is modernized with stainless steel tanks, the rooms for bottling and storing wines are expanded and a department for barriques is created. In the old cellar, the wooden barrels are replaced by modern fiberglass tanks.
