ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Vigna Flor is a tiny artisanal estate located in the Colli Euganei, an area famous for its gentle, cone-shaped hills and a volcanic landscape. Established in 2020, and run by husband-and-wife Francesca Gozzo and Davide Boldrin, the two-hectare vineyard is named after their daughter Flora. The vineyard sits on a mix of calcareous and volcanic soil, and the vines date back to the early 1960s and 70s. For over 15 years Francesca and Davide have run restaurants in Spain and Italy, in that time, they learned a lot about natural wines, and were eventually inspired to try making their own.

Francesca and Davide work as naturally as possible. The result is unadulterated wines full of energy, made with lots of passion and tons of integrity.
