Our Story
Make dreams come true
After an intensive period, at the beginning of 2021, Arjen and Lenja wanted grab their 2nd chance in life with both hands. Arjen wanted to become a winemaker, one of the first sentences he uttered after waking up from a coma, and so it happened. The choice for Italy in the beautiful hilly region of Marche was quickly made to start our adventure.It was an immediate hit when we visited the vineyard of hobby farmer Maurizio (former owner), located a few kilometers near the picturesque Roman town of Petritoli.

A beautiful farm with slopes on both sides full of vines and olive trees. Too good to be true and the feeling was immediately good, also for the former owner who built the vineyard and winery in 2009 and completely rebuilt the farmhouse from 1900. It was important to him and his family that his hard work continued. The vineyard was thus found, but then it only begins.

After the necessary discussions with the broker and an extensive study of the Italian customs and way of doing business, we made an offer. And after some negotiation, our purchase, and the start of realizing our dream, was a fact. Because of the reason for this adventure and having to persevere and persevere if you want to do business abroad and Italy, we have named our estate “Dominio Sognare con Perseveranza & Piacere”, “dreaming with perseverance, perseverance and pleasure”

A place where dreams and fun come together, where we cannot escape simply working hard ourselves with some perseverance and perseverance. Our wine company “PERSEVERANZA”, as it is registered with the Italian Chamber of Commerce, covers the entire chain from grape growth to wine assessment. Where we, with our recruited wine professionals, work with heart and soul and develop beautiful full wines that can be drunk on any occasion and spicy olive oil that enriches every dish with taste. On the terrace during a summer evening a Pecorini or a Marche Rosso during a beautiful philosophical moment in front of the fireplace.

Farmer status
Buying a vineyard in Italy is no problem at all, but… if you, as a brand new company, want to be eligible for subsidies, schemes and/or discounts on agricultural equipment and supplies, obtaining farmer status is a requirement. In Italy this status is called IAP, Imprenditore Agricolo Professionale. We now have that IAP status and with Perseveranza we are officially a farmer and agricultural entrepreneur in Italy.
