Their farming philosophy embraces the complexity of nature, acknowledging that they can never fully comprehend its interactions. They focus on observing and learning from Earth's natural processes, allowing nature to guide their actions rather than imposing their own. This approach has led them to avoid treatments on their land, whether homeopathic, organic, or biodynamic. Established in 2001, their estate on Mount Etna cultivates vineyards, olive trees, and a variety of other plants, striving to maintain a diverse ecosystem.
