Mario and Nelly Lovo
Mario Martin Lovo and his wife, Nelly, are the owners of Finca La Victoria, a medium-sized coffee estate located in the Dipilto region of Nicaragua. The couple purchased the farm in 2007, later discovering that the land had originally belonged to Mario's great-grandmother, Helena. Since acquiring the property, they have expanded the estate to nearly 60 hectares by purchasing adjacent parcels. The farm has a long history of coffee production dating back to 1872 and is currently recognized for its high-elevation cultivation.
