 The Winery: The company's roots lie in the Cappellania estate on the hills above Spotorno, where almost fifty years ago Mario Sancio began cultivating his first vines and producing Pigato. Over time, the company has grown while maintaining strong ties to the Ligurian Riviera. Today, Sancio Azienda Agricola cultivates approximately 6 hectares of vineyards spread across Spotorno, Vezzi San Giorgio, Orco Feglino, Finale Ligure, and Celle Ligure, with an annual production of approximately 45,000 bottles that express the authentic character of the Ligurian Riviera.
