About Cava D’Onice
Our "terroir", our home, are for us priceless values and as such we want to keep them for our children. “From an early age I followed my father, a winemaker for many years in an historical Montalcino’s winery, during his work. Then at the age of fourteen I started working, so I started my agricultural experience in the vineyard, learning to know the vines and their vegetative cycle, I learned how to cure them, prune them, do grafts" says Simone, owner and producer of Cava d'Onice. The winery is managed solely by Simone and his wife, a family-run business in which they strongly believe and invest. Despite the young age and the small size of the estate it has made its way over the years reaching great successes.
