In 1992 Stefano Chioccioli starts to take its first steps alone, as a consultant for cultivation and wine. It is a period of great ferment and renewal in the world of wine.
It tends to turn the page, to renew the vineyards, we tend to focus on a new wine that brings wealth, value, quality at an area rich in potential but untapped and mortified.

Since then, the escalation is unstoppable: new consultings and new successes that lead to the fore, even international, very new wine brands or old brands to be re-evaluated.
Here comes the 1995, an important year, not only for the arrival of her daughter Ginevra, but also for the launch of new consultings, including Livio Felluga, a winery which Chioccioli considers a pillar of viticulture and winemaking at the highest level, an example against which others measure themselves.
Among the most significant results of these years is the 100 points rating awarded to the Redigaffi 2000 by one of the most influential wine magazines in the world, Robert Parker’s “Wine Advocate”.
