In 2013 Joy (CHS '09) left her fast-paced life in New York City and moved to Italy to learn the art of winemaking. After apprenticing for a year with another winery, she ventured out on her own and created La Villana in Lazio, Italy. La Villana started with just a few old vineyards and a tiny garage. Today, La Villana farms nearly 5 hectares of old and new vineyards and produces roughly 25,000 bottles per year.
