The
PAST
In 2001, the project of Terre di Balbia was born from the creative minds of Gianni Venica and Silvio Caputo, an entrepreneurial duo that wanted to defy the International market with a product made in the -by then- lesser known wine region of Calabria.

Gianni Venica, a true Friulian and owner of the successful Venica & Venica winery, and Silvio Caputo, a dynamic importer of Calabrian wine in California, shook hands in the late 1990s, betting on the success of Calabria as they envisioned the Terre di Balbia project.
