Giancarlo’s family has been engaged in the wine growing sector since the 19th century, while Valentina started to develop her passion for oenology after she met her husband.
In 1969 the couple decided to invest its savings in Fumane and bought 7 of the current 10 hectares located in important crus such as Monte Tenda, Monte Crosetta and Rasso.
These vineyards are the most valued assets of this company and only organic agronomic techniques are applied to them. The organic certification was very close to the heart of Valentina, who strongly desired to achieve it, and is also a firm part of the whole family’s philosophy. Read more
