It all began at the family dinner on New Year’s Eve 2010, when I met Giuseppe Franceschini. As we talked, I shared my curiosity about the old vineyard at our family’s Finca Vidal and the potential it held for winemaking. Intrigued, we agreed to visit the vineyard just two days later, on January 2nd. That very day, we selected six rows to begin the project. I then set two conditions: First, we would push both the vineyard and the winemaking process to their absolute best. And second, if the result was an ordinary wine, we’d enjoy it at a barbecue with friends—but if it was an exceptional wine… we’d still drink it at a barbecue with friends
