Rebirth

At 87, grandfather Ciccillo called the family together, “I’ve had enough so either we sell or you decide what you want to do with it,” he said, drying his voice.

He gave the freedom to decide what to do with the land full of fruit between Manduria, Sava, Lizzano and San Marzano in a tone cleaned by hope and emotion. This is where the stories cross and destinies happen. Two years later, the Calitro farm company was set up and a bottle bearing the weight of tradition in an urban, contemporary dress created. A happy rebirth, viral contagion, which shook off the dust of time with a bang. It’s certainly not the story of the Buendias but the domestic saga of a southern family which has found itself in this bottle – the name, the pattern of the illuminations, the vineyards, the wine, the blood and the love.
