Label / history

The Garofoli winery dates to 1871, when Antonio Garofoli began producing and selling local wines. Four subsequent generations continued his traditions while updating production methods and preserving the area’s distinctive winemaking character. The family now owns 50 hectares of vineyards and produces approximately 2 million bottles annually.
