The teachings of the father were handed down to children Filippantonio and Nicola who have implanted new varieties, like the Trebbiano, expanding the sales on the whole national territory.

THE farm extends for about 20has the hills close to the valley of the river Hole. In the soils exposed to the south are also cultivated the traditional vines: Montepulciano and Trebbiano, which in this region express precise characteristics of typicality, but also international varieties such as Chardonnay and Cabernet.

  • Open Letter to the English-Speaking Catholic
    LETTER OF BISHOP THOMAS DOWD TO THE FAITHFUL OF THE DIOCESE OF MONTREAL Dear brothers and sisters, Today, Thursday October 22, 2020, the Holy See announced that Pope Francis has appointed me to become the next bishop of the diocese of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. I wanted to share with you a few thoughts and feelings as I prepare for this new step in my life and ministry. I am a Montreal boy. I was born here, I grew up here, I went to school here, and I got my university degree in commerce here. When my family left Montreal to move to Ottawa, I made the choice to stay. Later, when I felt called to become a priest, I studied for the priesthood in Montreal, for the diocese of Montreal, and later I became an auxiliary bishop for Montreal. I've got Montreal in my blood, and in my heart. That said, being Catholic means that we are called to be "universal people" -- we come from a place, but we are for the world. The day I got the call from the Pope's ambassador to Canada, Archbishop Luigi Bonazzi, informing me of this appointment, I was actually preparing a retreat conference I would be giving over video to a group of priests in Newfoundland. The theme of the presentation was essentially how we, as priests, are called to be men of hope, open to the plan of God and trusting in his providence. Some might think that it was ironic that I got the phone call 30 minutes before I was about to start my first talk on the subject -- personally, I think it was the Lord's good sense of humour! And so, while I will be leaving Montreal, it is not because I am saying "no" to my place of origin, but rather because I want to offer my "yes" to his plan for me and for his Church.

  • Apostolic Nuncio
    General Assembly of the Canadian Religious Conference (Montreal, May 26-29, 2016) Address of H.E. Luigi Bonazzi, Apostolic Nuncio My Dear Religious, Your General Assembly which brings all of you together every two years, is for me, a much anticipated gathering; a much desired and important gathering. It allows me, in fact, to meet and connect with and through you, all the consecrated men and women of Canada; connecting with all the members of your respective communities who enrich the Church of Christ that is in Canada with your various charisms and through your services and ministries. I greet you with affection and I thank the Lord for who you are, and for what you do, within the Church and for the world. Looking at you today, the first thing that spontaneously arises is my desire to share with you two personal “preferences” one could say – of Pope Francis. The first preference is for women religious: “What would the Church be without nuns?”1 “What would the Church be lacking if there were no longer women religious? May would be missing on the day of Pentecost! There is no Church without Mary! There is no Pentecost without Mary!”2 The second preference is for consecrated persons of advanced age. Says Pope Francis: “I’ll tell you something. I so enjoy when I come across those elderly women and men religious with eyes that shine, because they have the flame of spiritual life alight. It hasn’t gone out, that flame has not gone out! Go forth today, each day, and keep working and look to tomorrow with hope, always ask the Lord to send us new vocations, so our work of consecration can go forward.
