The Journey of a Maverick Winemaker

Some stories are born from the earth, the sun, and the wind. And then there are stories born from a challenge, from an unconventional idea, from a personality that refuses to compromise. The story of Fabio De Nadai is precisely that: a journey that blends Venetian rationality with Romagna’s passion, resulting in La Pistona, a winemaking project that defies the rules and celebrates authenticity.

Fabio was neither born a winemaker nor a Romagnolo, but sometimes life takes unexpected turns. When he moved from Veneto to Romagna, he discovered a land that immediately captivated him: Modigliana. Here, among the wild hills and vineyards that breathe the Apennine wind, Fabio felt he had found his new home. And above all, he found a true passion: wine.

By choosing to work in harmony with nature and using methods that enhance the raw material, each bottle of La Pistona tells the story of a season, the tale of a vintage, the character of a vineyard that changes and evolves.

The goal is not to chase rankings or trends, but to produce wines with respect and a bold personality.
