It all began when Sting and his wife Trudie were
looking for a summer home in Italy. They found a run-
down estate that formerly produced honey, olive oil and
wine. They bought the property, Il Palagio, because of the
view! Then they began a decade-long project of bringing
the estate, vineyard and olive groves back to life.
Sting invited all of the neighbors and town locals to
the farm shop on the estate for a party to share their plans
for returning Il Palagio to its previous glory. Now, every
August, Sting holds a party for everyone to celebrate and
thank them for their support. They eat, drink wine and of
course he sings a few songs!
(I want to be on this invitation list!)
Sting has named the wine produced from the vineyard
after some of his hit songs … (Message in a Bottle,
Roxanne, Sister Moon) just to name a few.
Sting said, “A wine is like a song – it has a story to
tell.”
Sister Moon has been listed as one of the top picks by
Wine Spectator Magazine.
You can travel to Italy to check it out, or run to your
favorite wine store!
Try a few and message me on your
favorites!!
