The story
The Mattarelli family gradually transformed a retail outlet and wine reseller into a structured winery. Company and industry sources note that the business began as a retail operation and expanded into a winemaking facility in the mid-20th century, while preserving a family tradition in the management of the company.
Production philosophy
The winery enhances the area's indigenous grapes by combining traditional methods with modern cellar practices. It harvests by hand and offers both conventional ranges and wines certified or labeled as organic.
Terroir and vineyards
The production vineyards are located in the Bosco Eliceo area, characterized by sandy soils near the sea. This terroir is often highlighted as a distinguishing feature for Fortana-based wines and for sparkling wines.
