I work and live in Lirano, a biodynamic garden in the Langa of Barolo, between the hills of Sinio and Serralunga d’Alba. I grow vines, fruit trees, herbs and grains. I believe that wine is magical because it gives me a chance to be heard. And I can tell people about a new way of looking at the land and how it is worked. A way to sincerely celebrate the beauty and harmony of nature.

I Custodi are the guardians, the keepers of the vineyards of Etna: guarding means preserving the land, maintaining the traditions and respecting the people.

Cà Dei Maghi is located on a picturesque hill in the village of Fumane in Valpolicella. Led by Paolo Creazzi, the winery mainly produces famous red wines, including Valpolicella, Ripasso and Amarone. Noteworthy, however, is also the production of white wines, a rarity in Valpolicella, such as Barabao from the Garganega grape and Camparsi from the Trebbiano. Paolo, in his own unique way, shapes these wines by finding a harmony between tradition and innovation. The result are his unique, highly rated Valpolicellas, Ripasso’s and Amarone’s, which are characterized by their juiciness and clarity. At Paolo, the essence of the grapes is central.
