Producer Information

A man with a radiant smile who venerated good food and who made it the reason for his life. And in the very festive procession of taste, wine sat on the royal throne. Restaurateur and hotelier in upper Friuli, Paron Mario soon realized that his mission was to excite people with his special love for wine and that to really do it, wine had to be produced with his own hands. 1969 was the year in which he acquired the first vineyards in the Collio, the year in which the great adventure began. An enthralling adventure that saw his sons Luciano, Gianfranco and Loris soon after become protagonists. The three made use of their father's teachings, learning to touch and feel the earth, indulge in the passage of time and the seasons, taste the grapes and see the secret of a small, great miracle inside. So in the years to come the lands owned by the family increased and many dreams became reality. That small farm today, with the third generation represented by Marco, Stefano and Mariaelena, has transformed into a winery of international prestige, an ambassador of the Friulian winemaking art in the world. But the origins are not forgotten and, above all, the flame of passion is ever more alive. Once upon a time there was a man, the first hero and author of a fable, who wrote the first page, signing it with an indelible imprint. This book entitled "Fantinel" is to be savored with ecstasy.
