THE WINERY

In 2013, Gabriele Morra took over the family vineyard from his grandfather, who had managed Pautasso Vini since the late 1800s. Gabriele, along with his partner Stefano Campaniello—who brings extensive experience from the European restaurant and sommelier market—approach winemaking with a blend of tradition and a food-focused perspective. They incorporate green manure from surrounding crops, such as legumes, wheat, and mustard greens, to naturally replenish the soil and maintain its health.
