Nice to meet you, we are the Heroics
It all stems from a family story
It all starts
from a story
family
We don't know how long our family has been growing vines. However, we know that wine has existed for as long as Vernazza has existed, which is why we like to think that centuries of history are watching us and we cannot disappoint them. Our dream is to preserve and make known a world that is always magical. A journey started by Angelo and Angela.
Angel
The boss
Together with Angela, Angelo, known to his friends as Angelone, being of fine size, transformed his grandfather's vineyard into a modern winery, but always attentive to tradition. As a good Ligurian, he likes to complain but is always ready to launch into crazy projects to recover the territory.
Francis
One of the two jokers
Francesco, the youngest of the brood, has taken roads far from the vineyard, but in times of need he is always ready to come and help the family. His performances during the grape harvest are legendary in which he is in charge of collecting the few baskets of a red car, a legacy of his grandfather
Luca
The young winemaker
After earning a doctorate in digital humanities, she realized that being on a computer was not her path.
Since then, he has embarked on the regeneration of the terraced landscape of the Cinque Terre. Taking care of his land is the thing that makes him most proud.
David
One of the two jokers
Davide works in the family fish tourism, the Bistromare, but like Francesco he is always ready to help in the vineyard. As a former rugby player, he is often called for the hardest jobs (in one winter he made 800 holes for the vine cuttings), but he says that if he doesn't sweat he doesn't like it.
Angela
Our history
Angela is our link with Vernazza. He loves his land and the outdoors. When he is not running up and down our mountains, he loves to spend time tending to the vineyard. The winter afternoons spent with Luca pruning in front of the sunset are special moments.
Tina
The acquired wild card
The latest arrival in the family, Tina immediately understood that the invitations to spend beautiful days in the vineyard were actually hard hours of work. However, she did not give up and is now fundamental in the care of the vineyard. She is always ready to bring joy, fun but also precision and punctuality.

At each harvest Angiolina took the best bunches and hung them to dry on the ceiling of her kitchen. "Maybe the rinse is so precious that grandma has to check her grains at all times," Mom thought.
The explanation is actually a completely different story but in Angiolina's careful care we like to see a heroic act.

As a child I always wondered why my parents forced me to go to the vineyard. Getting up there seemed useless and meaningless to me. Why rebuild that wall if a stone a little further away was already falling?
Dad and mom, however, worked as if nothing had happened and I imitated them without too much conviction.
At the end of the day, however, I looked up and saw Vernazza down there, lapped by the sea and the sunset.
Was it that beauty that pushed Angelo and Angela to cultivate the vine?
A question that can be answered by the Eroico Classico, from Bosco, Vermentino and Albarola grapes.

When everyone abandoned the vineyard, my grandfather decided to replant it. He was an engineer but he loved his country and did not want to make its traditions disappear. When he passed away, we found an excel sheet on his computer, or as he called it "calculator". Each row is a year and four columns with the most important aspects of his life: family, health, work and the fussร vineyard.
This Eroico in macerated version is dedicated to him.

Heroic Wine Tour
Let Luca, a hiking guide and youngest member of the family that owns the Fussร vineyard, guide you guide your vineyard in our vineyard. During the experience, you will discover a unique landscape and taste the Eroico in the same place where it is produced. The wine tour also includes a short but challenging trek. After all, it is not Heroic if you do not sweat at least a little!
beHeroic
We like to think that people can make a difference even when traveling, which is why we have created beEroico, a project that wants to make the traveler the protagonist of the regeneration of the Cinque Terre.
Try our catch at Bistromare
L'eroico was born in Vernazza but as soon as he saw the light he moved to Baia del Silezio, in Sestri Levante, where our family runs one of the few fish farms in Liguria: the Bistromare. You should know that Angelo is both a winemaker and a fisherman, a hard life immersed in beauty.
Lulled by a stay at Villa Chicchi
If after your visit to the Cinque Terre, you want to continue discovering Liguria, stay at Villa Chicchi, our family's home and bed & breakfast. A perfect place to get to know our region and enjoy your rest. A place to do and not to do.
