FASOLI GINO Winery #165
FASOLI GINO: FOUR GENERATION WITH JUST ONE PASSION
The winery embodies the rich heritage of a family deeply rooted in the Verona region. Since 1925, they been crafting wines with unwavering passion and dedication, drawing from the expertise passed down through four generations. While honoring tradition, they eagerly embrace modern agricultural techniques, blending the best of the past with innovative practices. But the Fasoli family’s agricultural journey began in 1921, when Amadio Fasoli chose to focus on viticulture in the picturesque Illasi Valley, east of Verona. Taking personal care, Amadio delivered his wines to the finest local establishments, transporting them by horse and cart. In 1925, the company was formally established with the issuance of its first sales invoice to the parish priest. Led by Gino Fasoli, the second generation expanded the vineyard area and wine production, aiming to establish their wines throughout Verona. However, Gino’s allergy to chemicals in 1979 led the third generation to make a bold move: transitioning to organic farming.
The Leading the Biodynamic Movement in the Region
Amadio and Natalino Fasoli initiated organic viticulture in the 1980s, showcasing their steadfast dedication to preserving their terroir and the well-being of those within it by eschewing chemical products. Fasoli Gino stands as the sole biodynamic winery in the region, pioneering this approach for over a decade. Today, the fourth generation builds upon the family’s accumulated knowledge. Since 1984, Fasoli Gino has upheld organic winemaking and viticulture principles, eschewing chemicals – a testament to honoring tradition and the land. The company employs biodynamic methods to enhance plant vitality, drawing from ancient agricultural wisdom that harmonizes with nature’s rhythms. These practices aim to restore balance lost through intensive agriculture.
