He took his University Degree in Law in 1984 and immediately after he decided to put the codes aside, and dedicated himself to carry on the ancient and important family tradition of wine industry. However, Francesco didn't neglect doing a careful research on wine - making: it allowed him to reach the aim of quality, also applying to the production modern methods and techniques, in order to follow the requirements of todays market. This research started in 1988, as a first example in Calabria, by the refining in small oak casks coming from France (barriques) of Gaglioppo, the main vine from Cirņ; it went on with experiments on local vines that were almost completely disappeared from Cirņ's countryside, lacking of suitable wine , making methods.
