For Fun:  After over 20 years of making wine in Tuscany, Fabrizio and Cecilia Piccin went looking for a different location with ideal conditions to begin a new winery project. They settled on Basilicata, home of the Vulture volcano and some of the most distinct and age-worthy wines in Italy, where they founded the Grifalco winery in 2004. The name Grifalco is a tribute to the family’s past and present. It combines the griffin, the symbol of Montepulciano in Tuscany where the Piccin’s are from, and the falcon, symbol of Monte Vulture, their adopted home. (Taken from source linked below)
