Excellent quality wines produced by a small company but with excellent growth prospects. The wines are niche, few bottles produced each year but with a very high quality, we briefly visited the vineyard from which the work and commitment behind the production can already be seen, then we continued in the cellar where the explanations are were precise and accurate, last but not least the tasting room where we had the opportunity to taste the three flagships of the company, one better than the other, certainly destined for haute cuisine and in fact already landed in several restaurants starred by the guide Michelin. I'm sure we'll soon hear about their wines within a few years. An experience that I highly recommend.

I had tasted their wines at a Roman event on southern wines in 2019 and I promised myself I would go and visit the estate because it was close to my house by the sea... I finally succeeded! Just outside Cosenza, Carlotta and Matilde welcomed us and guided us around the estate and illustrated all the details with professionalism and care: the place is beautiful, two differently exposed amphitheater vineyards flanked by woods and interspersed with splendid lavender plants that have attracted wonderful butterflies, everything is cared for by hand, with a deliberately low yield which already heralds the excellent result and the small but precious production. In the tasting room, spacious and carefully furnished, we are also welcomed by Nicola and Raffaella, the girls' parents and founders of the estate, who guide us in the tasting of three wines Eleuteria 2016, Eleuteria 2021 and Esmen 2021: the wines are extraordinary, they have a distinctive character and an exceptional balance, they are the perfect result of everything they have shown and told us! If you pass by, it's a winery not to be missed.

What a beautiful experience! Raffaella and her family have created an amazing vineyard that truly reflects all elements of this amazing location and which shine through in these superbly handcrafted, small batch wines. The care, attention to detail and gracious hospitality are beyond description and we wish to thank the family (and the 2 beautiful dogs) for hosting us today. These wines are more than deserving of their multiple awards and recognition and are a true reflection of sense of place. Grazie Wayne and Donna

Thanks to Tenuta del Travel for today's enchanting tasting. The wines are striking for their incredible elegance: superlatives! All surrounded by an incredibly fascinating landscape in which the vineyards are immersed in an uncontaminated forest. Unique experience!
