In the early 1980s, Angiolino Maule and his wife, Rosamaria, bought land in the hills of Sorio di Gambellara and built their home and cellar there. Before this, the couple had worked as cooks in the family pizzeria for twelve years, before deciding to devote themselves to their long-standing passion for winegrowing.

La Biancara was founded in 1988 by Angiolino and Rosamaria Maule. The estate's vineyards initially covered 6 ha, with many vines planted during those early years. From the beginning, the couple followed the principles of natural farming.

Later years

Over the years, the pursuit of quality and environmental integrity shaped Maule's work and outlook. Angiolino was later joined in the vineyard and cellar by his sons, Francesco and Alessandro. Together they built a new winery and acquired more vineyards, keeping the same spirit of exploration and commitment to making their wines better and more authentic. The estate now owns 11 hectares of vineyards and rents a further 4 ha, two of which are in the Berici Hills, where Grenache performs particularly well.
