The history of our company began in Val d’Adige, in Trentino, where our family has always cultivated vines with passion.
With great–grandfather Onorio, in the years following the end of World War II, a small local trade of wine in casks began, wine that came from the grapes of his own vineyard. It is thanks to the entrepreneurial ability of grandfather Vittorio, who succeeded Onorio, assisted by his brother Bruno, that a winery was founded, in the 60s, in Serravalle all’Adige, built thanks to countless sacrifices and great determination.
The vineyard of the family thus becomes a true philosophy of life, so much to lead the grandfather, in the 70s, to buy more soil in the Veneto region in Pastrengo, in the area of Bardolino wine. The love for the land and the passion for wine were handed down also to the son of Vittorio, Fulvio, recently graduated in Oenology, who collaborated in the construction and management of the newly formed winery of Pastrengo. Over the years the farm area has increased, acquiring more and more skills and knowledge in the wine sector, paying more attention to the product quality and specializing in the making of Bardolino and Chiaretto wines.
In 2001 a vineyard on the hills of Umbria, in the area of Orvieto Classico, was purchased. Since 2006, the daughters Claudia, graduated in Oenology, and Giulia, with a diploma in Agriculture, joined the company, and in 2009 founded the new corporate brand “Benazzoli”, so the bottling of a careful selection of wines began.
Our philosophy is to recreate in wines the flavors of the land they come from, aiming particularly to the tradition and teachings of the past, without neglecting innovation and maintaining the same spirit, the same desire to improve and our passion for wine, that has always distinguished us.
