With all of the rewards that his musical talents have brought him, there are few things that are as important to Andrea as his family’s wines.
“When I return home after my long trips, the joy that I receive from the taste of wine from my land is hard to match. It brings me back in time, to memories of my father, of him pouring the wine with a quasi-religious respect. I would give anything for him to see what has been accomplished in the past few years. I am sure he would be proud… It is now my honor to be an ambassador for these wines; and to do so with the same zeal as my voice.”
Since 1881, spanning three generations, the Bocelli family has made classic Italian wines on their small estate in Tuscany. To this day, "Mamma Bocelli” still enjoys working in the fields, carefully hand-tying vines. Sister Cinzia and brother Alberto manage the azienda, and receive guests that stop by to say hello - it is a true family affair. And if there is one thing that Andrea, brother Alberto, and their family love to do, it is to share their special Italian culture with friends around the world. Whether it is the music of "La Boheme,” or the wine of la dolce vita, they understand the art of living well. That is why, for the very first time, they have partnered with other exceptional growers to hand-select some of the best sites in Italy to produce exceptional wines that they themselves enjoy; that are perfect for celebrating every day.
