It was the over 90 grandfather, founder of the family business, Domenico (nicknamed in the village PACENA, today one of the brands of the firm) to support Luciano during that period. His experience and wisdom, together with the goodwill and spirit of sacrifice of the grandson, succeeded in compensating the absence of Luigi. Tempered by the daily sacrifice and strong for of the teachings received, reached the age of majority in 1959, he established the personal business Luciano Contri, converted in 1980 into the firm Contri Spumanti S.p.A., starting the production of sparkling and semi-sparkling wines.
