our TRADItION
History tells us that not only the cultivation of vineyards and grapevines but also the production of wine in Trentino Alto Adige dates back to 700 BC. This is when the area belonged to Raetia, famous in ancient times for the quality of the wine, called Retico, highly appreciated in ancient Rome. When the ancient Romans arrived in these lands, they found the vine growing on wooden structures, a system considered to be the ancestor of the modern pergola. There was also the opportunity to learn how to use wooden barrels for storing and transporting wine. Viticulture and wine production became important in this region at the time of Charlemagne, the bishoprics and abbeys that were in southern Germany used to supply their storerooms with wines produced in these territories because of their high quality.
