Ramingo

You can recognize a pilgrim: dusty shoes, a backpack, and a gaze fixed on the destination. Such was the wayfarer who, on his journey, carried with him the customs and traditions of his homeland. Along the Via Francigena leading to Rome, he would keep a seashell, a book, a stone, or a vine cutting—tokens to remind him of his origins as he ventured toward an unknown land. It was in this way that vine cuttings arrived in the hills of Candia from the Iberian coast, from lands beyond the Alps, and from across the sea—exchanged as a gesture of hospitality toward the pilgrim. Thus, these cuttings took root in our soil, finding a perfect harmony with the Apuan terroir to produce elegant, fine wines rich in Mediterranean flavors.
