This winery was founded in 1975 by two friends, Fiorentino Sandri and Mario Pojer, who's goal was to prove that this untested viticulture region between the Adige river and the Cembra valley was capable of producing world class wines. Young Fiorentino inherited his family's vineyards and Mario was a budding winemaker when their first release, a 1975 Palai Müller-Thurgau caused quite a stir in the rapidly developing Italian wine scene. Their early success enabled them to add more prized vineyard holdings to their production including sites for several single vineyard bottlings. |
