Roberto Anselmi continues to uphold his legendary status in Italian winemaking. This charismatic, motorbike-riding rebel’s uncompromising quality-over-quantity approach has helped redefine the image of northern Italian wines. Last November, Roberto’s winery suffered an appalling flood. All the cases ready for Christmas shipments were ruined, all the winery’s accounts and data were destroyed, and the bottling line was out of action for quite a while. Fortunately the casks and vats with the future wines were saved. Roberto has suffered through all this, but the motivation is there and we are sure he will come back more determined than ever to get his amazing wines to unprecedented heights.
