The Azienda Agricola Spadafora is a farm established by don Pietro, Prince of Spadafora, who had inherited the estate from his uncle Michele De Stefani, a capable farmer and racehorse breeder.
The origins of this aristocratic family can be traced back to the XIII century. Ever since 1250, its members have owned large estates and held titles of rank. The estate was seriously damaged by the earthquake of 1968, but don Pietro engaged in the work of reconstruction and restructuring, revaluing local vine species and introducing new varieties for the production of quality wines.
The present owner is Francesco Spadafora, son of don Pietro, who attends to grape-growing in his vineyards extending over about 100 hectares.
