"The Cembrani D.O.C. Consortium puts its bases on the principle of uniting forces for a territorial, cultural and commercial development of the Cembra Valley"
cit. Nicola Zanotelli, Chairman of the Consortium
We are a group of seven companies decided to create a network; These are the "CEMBRANI D.O.C.": Opera Vitivinicola in Valdicembra, Distilleria Pilzer, Azienda Agricola Simoni, Azienda Agricola Zanotelli, Azienda Vitivinicola Villa Corniole, Distilleria Paolazzi and Azienda Vitivinicola Nicolodi Alfio.
We are family owned companies from Cembra, five wineries and two distilleries, whose products encompass not only the passion of generations, but also the history of an area planted with vines since Etruscan times, as evidenced by the discovery of the Situla sul Doss Caslir in Cembra, a discovery that makes the Cembra Valley the cradle of the oldest grape growing in Trentino. The architecture of the landscape, shaped over the centuries with over seven hundred kilometers of dry stone walls, is a witness and soul of the Valley. Its profile has been chosen as the spokesman of our consortium. The Cembrani D.O.C. logo it is the stylization of a glass of wine composed of the initials C and D filled with profiles of dry stone walls, lush with vineyards and bordering the river Avisio which over the centuries has eroded its slopes.
To the Cembra Valley territory and its estimated 708 km of dry stone walls two wines are dedicated:
"708 km Cembrani Bianco" white wine and "708 km Cembrani Rosso" red wine
These wines are the ambassadors of the excellence of the territory of the Cembra Valley and its unique soil and climate peculiarities: the continental climate, the south/east exposure, the porphyry and limestone geological component in the initial part of the valley, the strong temperature range in the pre–harvest period, are the unique features of the Cembra Valley that come from exceptional grapes.
