THE FAMILY

A story of family, land and vision that spans generations, preserving roots and looking to the future.

A story of family, terroir, and vision, carried through generations — safeguarding roots while looking to the future

There is a past, a present, and a future yet to be dreamed.

Everything begins with a black-and-white photograph, depicting a man and his land. This is Ragana, an ancient rural village that grew around a 15th-century watchtower — a place of passage and protection, today a symbol of our identity. In the 18th century, a winery came to life here, where delicate and intense wines were crafted using traditional methods and time-honored techniques. Next to the tower, a small olive oil mill met the daily needs of the community, while by the end of the 19th century, an elementary school flourished: few classrooms, teachers arriving on horseback, and a village united by a deep sense of belonging. Ragana, from the Moorish term Ras-hana, “land of friendship,” was much more than a place: it was a way of life. It was here that Ugo Testoni, drawing strength from these ancient traditions, began producing a wine that soon became renowned and cherished throughout the province — and beyond.

It was Ugo Testoni’s daughter, Maruzza, who carried forward his legacy, and together with her husband Ascanio, she chose to bring her father’s dream to life. With patience and vision, they restored the old cellar, reviving a profound heritage and balancing the traditions of the past with winemaking innovations. Today, the story continues with the third generation: Maruzza and Ascanio’s children, the De Gregorio brothers, who guide the cellar with the same respect for the land and a forward-looking vision. A family story that endures, rooted in solid foundations, daily work, and genuine passion for wine.

What was built was born from a dream and lives in hope — the hope that this place, this work, and these values will never be lost, but will be embraced, preserved, and enhanced by future generations. For each generation is not a destination, but a passing of the torch — a legacy of respect, responsibility, and love for the land.
