The Story
Albamocco was born in an afternoon of sun and wind and like all good things it happened unexpectedly. Nothing best than the owner's words to explain what actually Albamocco is: "As young lovers we wandered to discover Marche hills. On the way, the navigator stopped working, we got lost in the countryside and went off the road. A winemaker saw the scene, helped us and to recover from what had happened he showed us a corner of paradise: his vineyard. It was the encounter with the magic of this land that gave birth to a beautiful dream: Albamocco."
"Today, in love with Marche region and its beauty, one step away from tour 30s, we have decided to raise our children here. We were literally overwhelmed by the extraordinary nature of the peasant world. In these places, we have always lived in union with the earth and a love for viticulture was born spontaneously in us."
