The Story:  Di Francesco – Gasperi is a marriage of two families and two great friends, Luigi Gasperi and Ennio Di Francesco. Ennio and his family had moved here in 1947, and his parent's property was home to these abandoned terraced vineyards.  Ennio and Luigi repaired the vineyards and nursed the surviving vines back to health.  Flash forward a generation, and Ennio's son Stefano continues to care for and produce wine from these tiny and extreme parcels.
