31th of August 2012, at 21.00 p.m. Nihil novi sub only ... Growing up with a sea view, horizon infinity, gives the human temperament opening and an optimistic outlook that can be found in Benjamin. Otherwise, where he would find the courage to make those investments that today everyone can see? His cellar appears to be contemporary with the XIX Century family house, because where he could, he left the rock, then created stone walls, used old bricks and even antique scales recovered from a demolition. And when we go back, about 280 meters above sea level, the view extends from Istria to the Lagoon of Grado.
