We are a large Swiss family now its fourth generation.
Since Wendelin Gelpke’s acquisition of Corzano in 1971 and the subsequent addition of Paterno in 1974 the farm has developed along three specific lines; wine and olive oil production, the artisanal production of sheep cheeses, and “agriturismo” or farm holiday rental.
In 2001, following Gelpke’s death, his wife, three daughters, son and nephew became co-owners of the farm, working hard to keep Wendel's dream going on.
