In 1967, at just 22 years of age, Bruno Rossi leased seven acres of land from his father in Lombardy, Italy and started off with just an acre of vines.
Bruno made his first wine in 1967 with grapes harvested from this block.
Throughout the 1960s the winery was a one-man band, with Bruno’s wife, Agatha, supporting him in his venture.
Bruno made dry red and white wines, sourcing grapes from the greater Italy regions.

“Serait-ce la folie ou la volonté qui nous pousse à défier la nature, à défricher ces pentes rocheuses et y planter la vigne? C’est avec beaucoup d’amour et de passion certainement, que nous avons démarré cette aventure en 2005 sur les hauteurs de Batroun. Aujourd’hui Atibaia s’étend sur 5 hectares et occupe une maison libanaise vieille de plus de deux cents ans. Nous y produisons un seul vin issu de quatre terroirs.”
