In partnership with Vittorio Moretti, a building magnate and wine producer, the Frenchman transformed the ducal folly into a resort, adding an extension, a spa, tennis courts and a golf course, and refashioning an old granary to house the Trattoria. Now bulldozers are flattening a patch of ground for a helipad. The vineyards will produce homegrown white wines this month, and the first reds will be ready to drink by Christmas. Wine on tap could prove useful if any of L'Andana's future guests share our deep and gorgeous thirst. The sommelier, Yuka Maekawa, concealed...
