fruit” added Damien.

Villa Erbice dates back to 1870 when Grandfather Narciso started making wine. Thename is derived from the 17th century prestigious Villa now used as the offices forthe brothers. Alberto only uses grapes grown on their own vineyard for the classicwines they produce. “We have full control of the quality when we use our own grapes”

worth the effort.”
