Viticultori Lariani
Who are the Viticultori Lariani
Experience, care and will of people, the Viticultori Lariani, at the service of the quality of the grapes, the preservation of traditions and sustainability in the production of wines in the territory of the upper Lake Como on the hills of Montevecchia.
Viticultori Lariani is the cooperative of wine producers who grow vines in the IGT TERRE LARIANE area, from the upper Lake Como to the hills of Montevecchia. Born in 2018, today it has about thirty companies that collaborate, share the cellar space and many projects together. Over 80 labels are produced, under the direction and thanks to the work of some young oenologists and agronomists.
A Territory of Wine
The vineyards of the Lariani winemakers, skillfully terraced along the steep slopes of the hills of the territory, tell the thousand-year-old story of an ancient art. The temperature variations, characterized by large temperature changes between day and night, represent a distinctive element that gives our wines a unique profile. This thermal variation helps develop the aromatic complexity of the grapes, giving elegance, freshness and a pleasant flavor to our labels. Every sip becomes a journey through the nuances of our territory, an engaging experience that reflects the authenticity and identity of our wine production.
