Manara Vini

Green vineyard on rolling hills with scattered trees, under a cloudy blue sky.

“The land lives in perfect harmony with the pace of the seasons: the vines growing cycle is our calendar and our deadlines are defined by nature.”

Since the 1950s the presence of the Manara winery is certified in San Floriano, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, more precicely, San Pietro in Cariano, Negrar and Marano di Valpolicella.

As a family owned winery, Manara’s mission is to produce wines while respecting entirely the characteristics of their terroir. While continuously innovating, they do not overlook the respect for tradition. They aim to preserve the distinguishability of the wines, without neglecting the incessant search for more modern and more effective production techniques.

History

Guido Manara, until his passing in 1993, ran the winery with the support of his sons Lorenzo and Fabio. When Giovanni joined in the company, the three brothers started managing the whole production chain, from vine to the bottle. The expansion of the winery simplified and optimized the wine-making procedures and has made it possible to achieve quality wines, while keeping their typicity intact.

After three generations and with its fourth gradually joining in with Davide and Riccardo, the Manara family is carrying on its wine-growing tradition with passion and knowledge, maintaining the strong bond with the land that saw it originate and grow

    wines. Guests are therefore always welcome to visit the winery and the vineyards, to understand and
