Very much a small, family-run affair, Sandro Fay began producing wines commercially in 1973. In more recent times, son Marco has assumed responsibility for the winemaking side of the business, while daughter Elena manages sales and marketing. All the fruit comes from the family’s own vineyards. The winery is situated in the Valgella district, the most easterly of the Superiore zones. Here, removed from the subtle moderating effect of Lake Como at the western edge of the region, it’s challenging, borderline viticulture. The vineyards sit on rock with a little sand. Although blessed with perfect drainage, the vines can “do it tough”, to quote Marco Fay.
