Silvia Avallone
Silvia Avallone was born in Biella in 1984 and she the author of a collection of poems and of four novels, like Acciaio, winner of the Campiello Opera Prima. Her novels have been translated in 25 countries. On March 8th, 2021, she gave a speech at the Quirinal Palace for the International Women’s Day. She writes for the “Corriere della Sera”, “La Lettura” and “7”. Her interpretation of Trust gave life to a monograph called “Trust in desires”.
“Trust is a hazard. We must be brave and disagree: with whoever says that our destiny is marked, that world is an unfair place and there’s no way to make it better. Trust is a risk. It asks us to row upstream, leave cynici-sm behind and sail towards a dream. We won’t necessarily make it, quite the opposite in fact. But how could we live without trying at all? As written by Franzen, life is not about winning. It’s not about that: it has a purpose, and must be lived to the ful-lest. The only way to do it is trust: in the most authentic part of ourselves and other people, and in the prestigious opportunity of being here, in the world.”

Andrea Calisi
Andrea Calisi was born in Rome in May 1968. After studying art, he starts to work for a social cooperative, where’s in charge of art therapy creative laboratories. He worked as a graphic designer for important fashion studios and for Arci Nazionale, and as an illustrator for “D”. As well as working as an illustrator, he also worked as a teacher at a nursery school in Rome. His last book, “Baci”, a comic book for kids produced with Guia Risari, was relea-sed in 2021 by Edizioni Corsare. He lives and works in Rome. His interpretation of Trust gave life to an illustration called “The thread of recirpocity”.
“And yet, the need to dig up a thread full of dust, follow its path, even more if needed, change its direction. To believe in our own strength, and renew it. To meet new people, create new synergies. To listen to them. To trust them. To feel that, in trust, we can redi-scover a deeper sense of reciprocity. To breathe deeply, sit at a table, open a sketchpad, hold a pencil. To draw a woman and her alter ego, with a thin thread which joins them.”

Wine
Barolo Serralunga d'Alba, iconic wine since 1988 The classic with municipal mention, the original.
The year was 1992 when we released the inaugural 1988 vintage of our Barolo Serralunga d’Alba. After over 30 years form the birth of this single-village designation, we want to add new values to our most iconic wine.
Today we celebrate 165 years of a new history
165 years after our foundation, we want to be the bearers of new values through our icon, the Barolo from the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba. An identity Barolo, the first municipal mention in the world recognized by national and international critics, which represents the power of the Serralunga terroir and the elegance of the Fontanafredda style, floral, balsamic, vibrant, fresh and today with a new truth.
The scenery
We have considered that, in general, today’s society is being stripped of metaphysical and cultural values, favouring only empty contents, aimed at targeting and extinguishing the desire to think.
For our part, with the new prospective of Green Renaissance, we have placed the Earth at the centre of our thoughts and of everyday choices, but there was still an element that could counter this cognitive decline. We realized that this element coincides with the heart of the early Renaissance: art. We therefore decided to combine the art of prose and illustration with ours, wine. Here, in this magical union, the Barolo Serralunga d’Alba Renaissance comes to life.
The project
Afterthoughts: Barolo Serralunga Renaissance
We started by identifying the 10 values and feelings that in history gave rise to the rebirth of our civilization, and we decided to analyze them through three forms of art: the art of making wines, the art of writing and that of illustrating. Every year, a great contemporary Italian writer will analyze a value by giving life to a monograph, an lysis and a thought about the importance of that sentiment, then interpreted by the skill of an illustrator.
“Rebirth begins with HOPE, a desire that starts from ourselves and leads us to have TRUST, a feeling that generates COURAGE: when we are courageous, OPTIMISM prevails. It is thanks to the positive attitude that with TENACIA and a little by LUCK we learn to be GRATEFUL towards others, PROUD of ourselves and in HARMONY with the earth. The time has come to ENJOY our rebirth. “
And here every year, for ten years, our Barolo from the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba will be the instrument to interpret a new renaissance, where respect for the Earth also becomes respect for People.
