The estate was founded in 1993 by Alfredo Buglioni and initially consisted of only 3 hectares of vineyards, with an additional 2 hectares planted with olive trees.

Eventually he found a young oenologist, Diego Bertoni , who accepted the challenge and still works on the estate. Today , the vineyard extends over 46 hectares, mainly planted with the classic grape varieties synonymous with Valpolicella: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara.
