Giovanna Madonia

The Path

Since 1992, Azienda Agricola Giovanna Madonia a Bertinoro has been carried by the same hand that owns it: Giovanna Madonia as wine producer and owner.

In that sense, Madonia’s role is defined less by display than by consistency, with authorship coming through repeated attention to the land and the bottles it yields.
