Fasoli

The farming estate Fasoli has been operating since 1925. The Fasolis were originally apple growers, but after a major hailstorm in the 1960s destroyed the entire apple crop yet again, the family switched definitively to viticulture. Since 1977, brothers Amadio and Natalino, together with their father Gino, have been responsible for cultivation. The vineyards lie in the Illasi valley between Verona and Soave, exceptionally well suited to winegrowing. This broad, sun-drenched valley experiences hardly any frost, let alone snow, as the Lessini Mountains keep such harsh weather at bay. The Garganega vines are between 30 and 50 years old; the other varieties are between 10 and 15 years old. The wines take their names from vineyard sites or historical events.

After taking over their parents’ estate, the inseparable brothers Natalino and Amadio Fasoli devoted themselves entirely to organic cultivation. Their main focus was on modernising the cellar and their winemaking methods. Above all, they aim to make wines for drinking: unassuming everyday companions that offer enjoyment of a high standard. Extensive experience lies behind their Merlot and Pinot Nero crus and their dessert wines. “Sande” and “Orgno” are bottled only in good years, without compromise. They offer great drinking pleasure soon after bottling, yet are also suited to long cellaring and distinguished maturation. Alongside the Fasolis’ skills, rigorous grape selection and enormous manual effort in concentrating the wines by drying the grapes are the secrets of these wines. In addition to Azienda Agricola Fasoli, the brothers also run the Icaro estate in San Zeno di Colognola.
