| Once Upon a Time… C’era una volta |
C’era una volta – “Once Upon a Time” wine collection is produced by Losito & Guarini winery, the Italian leader of wine production of Bonarda from the Oltrepo Pavese region, producing over 25 million bottles per year.
The Selezione Luigi Guarini brands: Le Cascine, Lebollè, C’era una volta and Guarini, collectively, are ranked amongst the best selection of Oltrepo Pavese and Apulia wines.
The C’era una volta wine selection is cultivated with respect of their typicality and terroir, creating outstanding wines of quality.
Our Italian varietals honor the legacy of the Guarini family and were inspired by bottle sketches created by our beloved grandfather, Michele, dating back to the early 1920s.
It was his vision and passion for wines that led us to fulfill his dream by bringing the Guarini Oltrepo’s Pavese collection to reality – and creating the happy ending to our Grandfather’s story…Once Upon a Time in Italy. |
