| Introduction | Ferenc Máté has made a career of out documenting his own quests—whether it’s restoring a Tuscan ruin, building a vineyard from scratch, or sailing the seven seas. Born in Transylvania, he escaped at age eleven during the Hungarian revolution and grew up in Vancouver. He has since lived in California, Paris, Rome, the Bahamas, Tuscany and New York. He has worked on a railroad extra-gang and as a boat-builder, photographer, deckhand and book editor. He is the author of 16 books translated into 12 languages. His international bestseller A Vineyard in Tuscany, was a New York Times Notable Book, and shortlisted for Spain’s literary Camino del Cid award. His Dugger/Nello historical novel series has made him “the leading nautical writer of our time.” The Mátés work the vineyards surrounding the 13th century friary they restored in Montalcino, Italy. They have won global recognition for making one of the world’s best Brunellos. |
