Born into Spanish aristocracy, Hortense ventured beyond social conventions, embracing a destiny that led her through the elegant salons of Florence, where she married Count Umberto Serristori, to royal courts where she became a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elena of Italy.

Hortense's travels constituted the intricate fabric of her existence, a journey woven with adventures and discoveries in distant lands. From Paris to New York, from London to Istanbul, Hortense immersed herself in diverse cultures, sipping the lifeblood of places and people, forming friendships with renowned scholars, artists, and poets.

In tribute to her indomitable spirit, we created our first wine, Hortense, a symphony of elegance and adventure that mirrors the multifaceted nature of her extraordinary life. Just as her heart was a vessel filled with treasures from around the world, our wine encapsulates the essence of Bolgheri, paying homage to the timeless beauty of this land.
