Mario Schiopetto was born in 1930, he grew up in the family-owned Osteria ai Pompieri and had his first professional experiences as a fireman and later as a truck driver. In 1963, guided only by his taste and love of wine, he began to devote himself to wine production in his parents' farm and produced the first pure Tocai in 1965. The historic label at the time included the drawing of his fire engine, which he also used to deliver the wine to customers. With the 2019 vintage, the winery recalled these historical roots and resumed the cute drawing on part of its wine labels.

A certain phenolic richness also contributes to a textural lattice that promises a bright future given the sheer density of the material. The finish is long, grippy and slightly salty."

"The 2021 Il Sangiovese Superiore Predappio is floral and perfumed. Wild strawberries, stems, flowery underbrush and rosemary form its bouquet.
