Destiny, or ventura, is a word that appears frequently throughout the Brandolini family's history. This is the story of a man and his undying love for the place where he was born and grew up.
And it was fate that led the young Bandino Brandolini from Paris, where he studied but with little excitement, to his experience in the kibbutz life west of Haifa. His immersion in a life in contact with the ground enthralled him to the point where he enrolled in Agronomy classes at Texas A&M University.
Brandolini's return to Venice and his beloved Vistorta after finishing his studies evoked intense emotions, as a place that had offered play space during a joyful childhood suddenly became his home as an adult.
But fate intervened once more: after visiting Château Greysac's vineyard in Bordeaux, he and winemaker George Pauli decided to focus only on the merlot grape.
After only a few years, significant accolades adequately verified that he had chosen the correct route, and Vistorta was soon lauded as one of Italy's truly great wines.
Generously redolent of almond, marzipan, wild flowers, and daisies, with murmured notes of peach, pear, and melon Clean, crisp, and dry in the mouth, with a nicely subdued succulence and minor-key tannins Pleasantly bitterish notes of smooth almond grace the finish
