A company founded by Pietro Sartori in Negrar in 1898, his five sons all studied and, among a doctor, a lawyer and an engineer, the figure of Regolo stood out as the one who started the winemaking adventure.

The heir, endowed with a superfine palate, like a tailor, was able to 'sew' with extreme care the wines to propose to his clientele, which grew year after year.

After the Second World War, numbers also soared. Then, in 1952, when Regolo passed away, his two sons took over the business, opening it up to the foreign market.

The 1990s marked a turning point in the management of Casa Vinicola Sartori, which saw the entry of the Sartori family into the Board of Directors of the Colognola ai Colli winery to implement an ambitious growth project in the production and distribution of wines at a worldwide level. A goal successfully achieved.

Origin Vineyard located in the hills North of Verona
Soil composition Chalky clay.
Wine making Selection of the best bunches from the vineyards of Montegradella. The grapes are gently pressed and left to ferment for 8 0 days at a controlled temperature; after pressing, a fraction of 10-20% of the must is removed to obtain a greater concentration of the skins during fermentation; this increases the colour and tannins of this wine.
Aging After racking and subsequent malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for about 18-24 months both in cement and in large oak casks. The wine then rests for a further 4 months in the bottle.
