The Jasci family has been crafting wine for three generations, with a relentless focus on achieving the utmost quality in every bottle.
The passion for winemaking originated with grandfather Pasquale and his wife Maria in the 1960s. It grew over the years under the stewardship of their son Giuseppe and his wife Irma, who transitioned to organic farming in 1980. Since the early 1990s, this commitment has been passed down to Donatello Jasci and his wife Piera, who now lead the company with the guidance and involvement of their predecessors, bringing with them a wealth of experience and wisdom.
The Jasci winemaking philosophy is rooted in eco-sustainability, respecting the environment while blending tradition and decades of experience to create wines that are truly special. - Minum Selectios

Christophe Lindenlaub crafts his wines in Dorlisheim, a bustling village along the Alsace wine route, situated about 20 kilometers west and slightly south of Strasbourg. Unlike the picturesque postcard-perfect villages often associated with Alsace, Dorlisheim is a vibrant, working community, more attuned to its local rhythms than catering to tourists. Christophe himself embodies a vibrant aura of positivity and forward momentum. His boundless enthusiasm and unwavering optimism for the future are palpable, whether experienced during winery visits or chance encounters at wine fairs. This fervor is deeply rooted in the Lindenlaub family's longstanding tradition of tending vineyards dating back to the 18th century.
