103 Sant’Andrea – Gabriele
Cantina SANT’ANDREA (or Cantina GABRIELE, for KOSHER wines) – Meet an amazing family and its multicultural wines
History doesn’t always go from castles to battlefields, sometimes a family that tenaciously and with passion produces great wines in an area, Lazio, traditionally not considered “up to” winemaking of other areas of Italy, reserve of surprises exceptional, with its history of vineyards all over the world, of wonderful and unknown bottles, of simple and traditional dishes but perfect for pairing.
In 1850 the Pandolfos cultivate Zibibbo on the Sicilian island of Pantelleria, in 1880 they moved to produce fine wines in Tunisia, even serving France. In 1964 they were expelled by the new Tunisian government and settled in Lazio, where they began a new great adventure among the vineyards that led them to be today an international leader, even in Kosher wines.
Multiculturalism: Christian owners who have traveled between Europe and Africa, Indian grape harvesters, Jewish cellarmen for Kosher wines.
