The historic presence of the Gini family, vine growers in the area of Monteforte d'Alpone, dates back to the early 1600’s, according to documents and other evidence. A deed of sale dated 1852 during the Lombard-Veneto Reign testifies that Giuseppe Gini acquired a vineyard in the area of Contrada Salvarenza, where the family had owned land since the 18th century. Generations of wine growers, men who with their hard, back-breaking work, cultivated the land with great attention, and who handed down an enormous amount of experience to the present generation. Olinto, who was born in 1929 and is a master winemaker, has passed on his passion to his sons Sandro and Claudio, and together they have made these vineyards into one of the most beautiful and famous in Veneto.
The “Gini” farm and vineyards are located at Monteforte d’Alpone, in the area where Soave Classico is produced. It has always been an important point of reference for the high quality of their wines. The brothers, Sandro and Claudio, personally run the over 30 hectares of vines, cultivated on the best hillside positions for this purpose. The strong point of this vineyard is the way they have combined love of tradition with the most modern techniques and refining, which is so important in wine production today. The precious wines of these vineyards are kept in the new cellar, hewn out of the tuff stone rock. The brother’s motto is “Quality above all else.”
