Puglia: Massimiliano Apollonio

 

Sardegna: Roberta Porceddu

 
I was born in 1980 and I’m the last of five sons.
I grew up in the sparkling little city of ‘’Dolianova’’, in the countryside of ‘’Parteolla’’, nestled in the perfume of freshly squeezed oil and fermenting wine. Since I was a child I was involved in the artisanal cheese production in the family dairy farm.
I moved to Cagliari for study reasons, pursued high school degree at classical studies, studied political sciences and cultural heritage.
While I was attending university I’ve always worked in the family activities, extended in time with the sale of typical products in some different stores in the metropolitan area of the chief town.
In 2010, a meet-cute with Pietro Lilliu, founder of the homonymous winery, made me reconsider some choices I had made in the past. In 2012, after I sold some of the activities, I’ve decided to revolutionize my life: I left Cagliari and my job, and I went into business with the man that has become my husband and father of my son Cesare, who is 5 years old now.
The wines we produce come from a five hectares’ vineyard situated in the heart of ‘’Marmilla’’, an enchanted landscape in the centre of Sardinia. The vineyard is worked with natural and dryland farming techniques and provides us free of chemical residues’ wines, achieved with ancient techniques, such as spontaneous fermentation.
Our eight coloured labels come from autochthonous grapes and remember the flavor and the smell of this wonderful land. During the day trips I organize between the vineyard and the winery, it is possible to taste our wines, leading my guests to know the reality inside the bottle, with an alive and everyday language.
