What they have built at <strong>Torre Bisenzio<\/strong> is not just an <strong>agri-wine project<\/strong> or an exotic whim: it is the will to create an <strong>ecosystem<\/strong> where <strong>business<\/strong>, <strong>culture<\/strong>, <strong>hospitality<\/strong>, and <strong>territorial regeneration<\/strong> intertwine. A <strong>laboratory of relationships<\/strong>, where <strong>entrepreneurship<\/strong> becomes <strong>responsibility<\/strong> and <strong>philanthropy<\/strong> takes root in the <strong>land<\/strong> and <strong>community<\/strong>. In this corner of central Italy, the <strong>Rees\u2019s<\/strong> have chosen to embrace <strong>complexity<\/strong>, combining <strong>meaning<\/strong>, <strong>impact<\/strong>, <strong>trust<\/strong>, and <strong>dedication<\/strong>, becoming a <strong>living part<\/strong> of the <strong>community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where does Torre Bisenzio originate? What is the source of such a personal yet universal vision?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe origin lies in the <strong>fusion of two very different paths<\/strong>,\u201d explains <strong>Mike<\/strong>. \u201cI come from a long <strong>career in finance<\/strong>, 26 years with <strong>Standard Chartered<\/strong>, with experience in <strong>Asia<\/strong> and <strong>Africa<\/strong>. The bank\u2019s motto was <em>Here for Good<\/em>: being present in countries, being part of <strong>communities<\/strong>, and that deeply influenced my <strong>values<\/strong>, teaching me to build <strong>relationships<\/strong>, to <strong>listen<\/strong>, and to <strong>give back<\/strong>.\u201d \u201cMy story,\u201d says <strong>Neena<\/strong>, \u201ccomes from elsewhere. I was born in <strong>Mauritius<\/strong> to <strong>Indian<\/strong> parents and lived for a long time in the <strong>United Kingdom<\/strong>. I\u2019ve always had a great curiosity for <strong>languages<\/strong>, <strong>cultures<\/strong>, <strong>architecture<\/strong>. The idea of settling in a place I couldn\u2019t understand made me uncomfortable. But wherever I felt I <strong>belonged<\/strong>, I could <strong>build<\/strong>. That <strong>desire for belonging<\/strong> was the seed from which everything grew.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did you arrive in Umbria? And at Torre Bisenzio?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt one point,\u201d says <strong>Mike<\/strong>, \u201cour <strong>careers<\/strong> were taking us to <strong>London<\/strong>. We realized that\u2019s not what we wanted, so we started looking at <strong>Italy<\/strong>. We made many trips to <strong>central Italy<\/strong> from <strong>Singapore<\/strong>. <strong>Umbria<\/strong> attracted us more than <strong>Tuscany<\/strong>: less <strong>touristy<\/strong>, more <strong>authentic<\/strong>, <strong>quieter<\/strong>. A <strong>true land<\/strong>, still <strong>untamed<\/strong>, that asks for <strong>respect<\/strong> before it reveals itself.\u201d \u201cWe were looking for a <strong>farmhouse<\/strong>,\u201d continues <strong>Neena<\/strong>, \u201cbut none convinced us. Until, on a <strong>cold winter day<\/strong>, we discovered a <strong>remote hill<\/strong>. The road was <strong>impassable<\/strong>; we had to wait until the next day to climb up. But when we saw the <strong>view<\/strong>, we immediately knew it was our place. A place that asked a lot, but promised even more.\u201d \u201cIt was completely in <strong>ruins<\/strong>, but I immediately saw the <strong>potential<\/strong>. <strong>Neena<\/strong>, just to be safe, had me sign a paper stating it was all my idea\u2026\u201d jokes the former <strong>Standard Chartered<\/strong> executive. \u201cWe wanted to create something that would <strong>bring the land back to life<\/strong>,\u201d adds <strong>Neena<\/strong>. \u201cWe started with great <strong>effort<\/strong>: we were still living in <strong>Singapore<\/strong>, I was <strong>pregnant<\/strong>, <strong>Mike<\/strong> was traveling between there, <strong>London<\/strong>, and <strong>Italy<\/strong>. The first <strong>seasons<\/strong> were difficult, but every step brought us closer to an idea of <strong>responsibility<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And the local community?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt first,\u201d <strong>Mike<\/strong> notes, \u201cwe didn\u2019t do enough. We only knew the people working for us. Then we realized how important it was to <strong>integrate<\/strong>. <strong>Eating at local restaurants<\/strong>, <strong>making ourselves known<\/strong>, <strong>participating<\/strong>. From that moment, everything changed.\u201d \u201cSome of our collaborators,\u201d says <strong>Neena<\/strong>, \u201cexperience the <strong>wine cycle<\/strong> from start to finish. It\u2019s not just <strong>work<\/strong>: it\u2019s a <strong>collective narrative<\/strong> that involves them and makes them <strong>proud<\/strong>, where <strong>personal<\/strong> and <strong>professional life<\/strong> grow together constantly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are your founding values?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>Authenticity<\/strong>, <strong>sustainability<\/strong>, <strong>quality<\/strong>,\u201d answers <strong>Mike<\/strong> proudly. \u201cWe studied the <strong>agricultural history<\/strong> of this land, placed ourselves in the hands of <strong>Italian experts<\/strong> in <strong>agriculture<\/strong>, <strong>farming<\/strong>, and <strong>viticulture<\/strong>. We relied on professionals like <strong>Andrea Rosati<\/strong>, <strong>Francesco De Filippis<\/strong>, <strong>Adriano Zago<\/strong>. Every decision is part of a <strong>broader design<\/strong>.\u201d \u201cComing from outside this world,\u201d adds <strong>Neena<\/strong>, \u201cwe committed to <strong>learning<\/strong>, <strong>studying<\/strong>, <strong>trusting people<\/strong>. And we <strong>share everything<\/strong> with our team: every <strong>choice<\/strong>, every <strong>consultation<\/strong>, every <strong>change<\/strong>. Even with the workers in the fields. <strong>Transparency<\/strong> generates <strong>participation<\/strong>, and <strong>participation<\/strong> creates <strong>pride<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ve introduced technology and innovation in a land and a world deeply rooted in tradition. How was that received?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt first, with <strong>skepticism<\/strong>,\u201d explains <strong>Neena<\/strong>, \u201cbut then the <strong>results<\/strong> became evident. Those who work with us <strong>learn<\/strong>, <strong>grow<\/strong>. And often develop their own <strong>activities<\/strong> thanks to these <strong>skills<\/strong>. <strong>Technology<\/strong> does not <strong>replace<\/strong>, it <strong>elevates<\/strong> work.\u201d \u201cWe never <strong>impose<\/strong> anything as a principle,\u201d adds <strong>Mike<\/strong>. \u201cIf something doesn\u2019t work, we <strong>change<\/strong> it, we work to <strong>improve<\/strong>, not to be <strong>right<\/strong>. And when we make <strong>mistakes<\/strong>, we <strong>admit<\/strong> them. That\u2019s the <strong>pact<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s a clear connection between your wines and storytelling. How did that idea originate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur <strong>labels<\/strong>,\u201d <strong>Mike<\/strong> explains proudly, \u201ctell <strong>stories<\/strong>: about the <strong>land<\/strong>, our <strong>family<\/strong>, the <strong>connection between local and global<\/strong>. We want the <strong>community<\/strong> to see itself <strong>reflected<\/strong> and <strong>visitors<\/strong> to understand. Each <strong>bottle<\/strong> is a <strong>fragment of dialogue between cultures<\/strong>.\u201d \u201cAnd we offer <strong>hospitality<\/strong> following the same principle,\u201d adds <strong>Neena<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s the same thing: people come back because they feel <strong>authenticity<\/strong>, because they\u2019ve experienced real <strong>hospitality<\/strong>. It\u2019s not a place from a <strong>magazine<\/strong>: it\u2019s a <strong>lived-in home<\/strong>, <strong>cared for<\/strong>, built over <strong>time<\/strong>. A home <strong>built<\/strong>, <strong>furnished<\/strong>, and <strong>inhabited<\/strong> with <strong>hands dirty with soil<\/strong> and an <strong>open heart<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did you deal with the administrative and professional side?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe found extraordinary <strong>financial consultants<\/strong> in <strong>Rome<\/strong> who have supported us for <strong>twenty years<\/strong>,\u201d says <strong>Mike<\/strong>. \u201cAnd then connections with <strong>surveyors<\/strong>, <strong>artisans<\/strong>, <strong>local administrators<\/strong>. Like our <strong>collaborators<\/strong>, they are also from the <strong>area<\/strong>. There is <strong>mutual trust<\/strong> and no relationship is purely <strong>professional<\/strong>: every <strong>alliance<\/strong> is built over time.\u201d \u201cWe also try to be <strong>present<\/strong> in <strong>community moments<\/strong>,\u201d adds <strong>Neena<\/strong>. \u201cWe organize <strong>events with the Municipality<\/strong>, we <strong>harvest<\/strong> and <strong>cook together<\/strong> with our <strong>workers<\/strong>, their <strong>families<\/strong>, and their <strong>friends<\/strong>. The <strong>community<\/strong> is part of <strong>Torre Bisenzio<\/strong>: it\u2019s not <strong>rhetoric<\/strong>, it\u2019s <strong>real<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Torre Bisenzio be a replicable model?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, but it\u2019s not a <strong>formula<\/strong>,\u201d <strong>Mike<\/strong> clarifies. \u201cYou must put in your <strong>soul<\/strong>, <strong>time<\/strong>, <strong>curiosity<\/strong>. You must <strong>learn<\/strong>, <strong>make mistakes<\/strong>, <strong>stay<\/strong>, <strong>put down physical and emotional roots<\/strong>. Only then will the <strong>land recognize you<\/strong>. Having a <strong>project<\/strong> is not enough, you have to <strong>live it<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And your children? What does your project represent for them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur <strong>sons and daughters<\/strong>,\u201d says <strong>Neena<\/strong>, \u201ccome every year with their <strong>families<\/strong> and their <strong>children<\/strong> love the <strong>farm life<\/strong>. For them it\u2019s a place of <strong>freedom<\/strong>, <strong>discovery<\/strong>, <strong>roots<\/strong>. Our youngest son is still learning, he\u2019s learning <strong>Italian<\/strong>. I asked him: \u2018Do you see yourself here in the future?\u2019 He answered, \u2018Yes.\u2019 But you need <strong>entrepreneurial vision<\/strong>, beyond <strong>love for the place<\/strong>. We don\u2019t want to leave them a <strong>burden<\/strong>, but an <strong>opportunity<\/strong>. <strong>Legacy<\/strong>, for us, is not just <strong>inheritance<\/strong>: it\u2019s <strong>commitment<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What advice would you give to those wanting to follow a similar path?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst, <strong>get to know the people<\/strong> and <strong>learn the language<\/strong>. Otherwise, why come to <strong>Italy<\/strong>? Without <strong>listening<\/strong>, there is no <strong>community<\/strong>, only <strong>consumption<\/strong>. But above all, you must <strong>align your expectations<\/strong> with your <strong>ambitions<\/strong>. If you seek a <strong>meaningful project<\/strong>, you must be ready to be <strong>transformed<\/strong> by what you encounter,\u201d conclude the Rees couple <strong>with a smile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the heart of Umbria, Italy, Neena and Mike Rees have transformed their global experience into a project that blends regenerative agriculture, genuine hospitality, and a strong sense of social responsibility.
