A Book About Our Past and Future

"We have always aspired to create a book, a book that encompasses all the aspects and nuances of the estate. It narrates what has transpired in the past and our achievements over the past 30 years”

The Book

Its present custodians, Benedikt Bolza and his wife Nencia Corsini, have given Reschio a sense of purpose, a sense of identity and - by no means insignificantly - a sense of humour.
