Joël Rossi and Jean Curallucci are inseparable cousins! As breeders, they carry the family torch and carry on the production of various cheeses such as Sartenaise Tome, Casgiu, Niulincu and Brocciu (fresh, aged, and dry). “The ovine pastoral tradition is part of our heritage. It's a lifestyle and recognition of our commitments, such as organic production. That was obvious!” says Jean. Viticulture arrived with the opportunity for both men to buy the viticultural land on which their herd grazed. In 1990 the beginning of a complete restructuring of the domain began. “First the entire space needed to be rethought,” explains Joël, “and recently  reintroduce old endemic varieties such as Riminese, Genovese or Muresconu. But our plans did not stop there!” The Petra Bianca winery came into existence 4 years ago (whose name comes from a plot of land crossed by a quartz vein), where active manual labour was required for the development of the chai. In the near future, reinforcing its entitlement to the High Quality Environmental standard, it will earn the status of a positive- energy building (Bâtiment à Énergies Positives - BEPOS).

Raphaëlle and Lucien, Joël and Jean’s children, at their parents’ sides, are eager to perpetuate the respect for this tradition. “The Earth,” says Joël, “is in our veins, so naturally we respect it!” Ava è detta!*
