About the winemaker

“Not all wine carries the history of a volcano, but ours does! The fertile slopes turned out to be the ideal soil for growing merlot grapes. When we tasted the grapes, we quickly knew: This tastes so special, we have to make a special wine with it. So now you can literally taste the history of our region in one bottle.”

Veneto, Italy
Veneto is located in the northeast of Italy and is one of the most famous wine regions of the country. What makes the area so beautiful is the great variety of wines that you will find here. For example, Veneto is home to the famous Prosecco bubbles, but also to the white Soave and Lugana wines. But as a wine lover, you can also indulge yourself with red wines here. The famous Valpolicella and Amarone wines also come from here. What few people know is that this region is also home to several extinct volcanoes. These offer completely new opportunities for the region. Many winegrowers are therefore very enthusiastic about the mineral soils. By vinifying these separately, a whole new category has been added to the arsenal of Veneto.
