Label / history
The winery takes its name from the Grace family and the 19th-century windmill on the estate. The mill features in a sculpture of two men carrying a grapevine outside the cellar and is depicted on the wine labels.
American businessman Frank Grace rediscovered the neglected Volano vineyards near Panzano. With German banker Gerhard Hirmer, he restored the vineyards and built a modern winery within five years. Oenologist Franco Bernabei organized the winemaking process.
