Antonella and Marco
Have you ever experienced the scent, the flavor, and the warmth of the countryside?
Our remarkable adventure began in the Emilian countryside, often veiled in the season’s first gentle mists. We are Antonella and Marco, and we started the Folicello journey.
What began as a project, almost for fun in the early 1980s, was simply the intention to produce a healthy glass of wine for ourselves and our friends. Today, our winery boasts a new, state-of-the-art cellar where tradition, innovation, and sustainability merge in the artisanal production of our organic wines and grape juices.
We have spent most of our lives immersed in the countryside, learning to appreciate its true value and discovering the immense potential it offers. Our core mission is driven by the desire to rediscover and share with our customers the great added value of high-quality, organic wine production.
Our daughters, who have embraced the farm, are the promise of the future and the guarantee that the Folicello passion will continue to grow.

Federica and Irene
Federica and Irene grew up right here at Folicello, surrounded by the vines and musts that filled our home with scents and colours every autumn. These are the very sensations we have always strived to capture in every bottle of Folicello juice and wine.
A job that turned into a deep passion—a passion for quality and authenticity that we passed on to them from childhood. Today, they proudly carry it on together, enriching the Folicello team with invaluable new skills.
Federica has been with the company since 2015, primarily managing commercial and administrative affairs. She oversees various production stages and foreign relations, and she truly values direct contact with our customers. Together with Francesca, a valued member of our team, she handles your emails, prepares orders, and personally welcomes visitors to our store.
Irene joined the team in 2022 and focuses more on the production side. She supports Marco in vineyard management and harvest organization. She is primarily responsible for the crucial packaging and warehouse stages.
