More than a hundred years of history solidify the Farina family's commitment to the land, the vineyard, and the art of making wine. Documents from the early 1900s tell of their past as sharecroppers within one of Valpolicella Classica's most historic farmhouses. The property was a full-working farm with vines and cereal crops for bread, polenta, olive, and cherry trees. The barn and hayloft were used to raise livestock. Wheat alternated with rows of white and red grape vines. The harvested grapes were pressed and fermented in vats, and the resulting wine went directly into barrels for aging. The wines produced then were the Gabana white wine, the Camerlà white wine, in dry and sweet versions, and the Valpolicella Recioto Amarone. The historic farm property, still in use today, exudes history, tradition, and the passion that has shaped the Farina family's winemaking identity over the years.
