Montaldo di Cellina (AL)

Summer Wolff is the wife of the famous Fabrizio Iuli, one of the pioneers of natural wine in Italy.

It all started 20 years ago when Summer worked in reception at a small restaurant in Charleston, and it was there that she realized that her life would be inextricably linked to wine.

As a sommelier first in NYC and then Head Sommelier, Export Manager and Wine Broker, in Tuscany.

An incredible journey that took her around Europe to meet small and very small natural wine companies, which left a profound mark on her. And who, together with her husband, an incredibly helpful person, led her to embark on this new adventure.

So, after dreaming of it so much, and also pushed by Fabrizio, Summer decided to make her dream come true, that of becoming a full-fledged vigneron.

Its wines already have a well-defined identity, great to drink, super fun and obviously delicious and natural.

For now, Summer owns two hectares in the same valley where Cascina Iuli is located, has rented a Freisa Piccola vineyard and the goal is to expand, but without rushing!
