Cantine Fantinel history
A man with a radiant smile who revered good food and made it the reason for his life. And in the much festive procession of taste, the wine sat on the royal throne. A restaurateur and hotelier in northern Friuli, Paron Mario soon realized that his mission was to excite people with his special love for wine and that to really do it, wine had to produce it with his own hands. 1969 was the year in which he acquired the first vineyards in the Collio, the year in which the great adventure began. An exciting adventure that soon saw his sons Luciano, Gianfranco and Loris become protagonists. The three made virtue of the teachings of their father, learning to touch and feel the earth, go along with the passing of time and seasons, taste the grapes and see inside the secret of a little great miracle. Thus in the years to come the lands owned by the family increased and many dreams became reality. That small farm today, with the third generation represented by Marco, Stefano and Mariaelena, has turned into a winery of international prestige, ambassador of the Friulian art of wine in the world. But the origins are not forgotten and, above all, the flame of passion is more and more alive. Once upon a time there was a man, the first hero and author of a fable, who wrote the first page and signed it with an indelible imprint. This book entitled "Fantinel" is to be savored with ecstasy. Wine is an ancient feeling, a work that makes the world better. It is a mosaic of emotions, a masterpiece composed of precious stones expertly placed side by side with genius, creativity and inventiveness. But a good creator knows that every artistic form is born, always and in any case, from the respectful celebration of the original Creation. Honoring the earth is Fantinel's first vocation. A vocation that has its beating heart in Tauriano, near the ancient village of Spilimbergo, a town of culture known throughout the world for its prestigious Mosaic School. Here there is an elegant cellar surrounded by greenery, from which more than 300 hectares of vineyards are managed, divided into the renowned DOC Grave, Prosecco and Collio areas. Unique terroirs, privileged areas that enjoy ideal microclimates for the optimal ripening of the fruits and the maximum expression of each vine, among which the highly prized native grapes stand out. From these authentic caskets of rare gifts, Fantinel's peculiar conception is coined: a viticulture that is viticulture. Because only a vine that grows according to natural rhythms, based on respect for the vegetative cycle and the balance of the plant, can give life to rich fruits and, of course, to majestic wines: harmonious pictures that radiate the light of the sun, releasing the infinite shades of earth colors.
