Merlot du Tessin Fustoquattro, HuberVini - 2022

As a schoolboy, Daniel Huber was a fan of Plato. He wanted to study philosophy in order to better understand the world. Eventually, he studied at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, the call of the forests no doubt. Once he had obtained his forestry diploma, Daniel Huber initially dreamed of becoming a farmer in the mountains of Graubünden. The real vocations are a series of coincidences and secret necessities: it was finally viticulture that imposed itself on him as an obvious choice, at the beginning of the 1980s, a turning point for wine that corresponded in most vineyards to a change of generation and a change in approach to quality. Daniel Huber and his wife looked for vineyards everywhere: in German-speaking Switzerland, in French-speaking Switzerland - where Anne-Marie is from - and even in Tuscany.
