Tanorè is the name of our brand
It is a tribute to a special man who lived throughout troubled 20th century. Gaetano (1929 – 1997) was our father and, together with the people of his generation, he transformed the 20th century from a time of tragedies into a laboratory of peace and rural prosperity.
Tano and Giovanna toiled up these hills, and they devoted particular care to their cattle, especially reared for milk, until, in the 1980s, they decided, as reluctantly as many of their peers and friends, to close the cowshed down. The challenging goal was giving impulse and impetus to a renewed viticulture: tilling our uphill vineyards – “rive” – according to traditional practices, and employing modern wine-producing methods, thanks to the innovation brought about by ourselves, youngsters back then, and better connoisseurs of up-to-date oenological procedures.
That generational merge was well-arranged, and, thanks to it, we have inherited a landscape and a calling that nowadays, thanks, above all, to the elderly people of that generation, can boast the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tano belonged to that generation, was one of them – a good, sturdy man, so the other villagers, following the picturesque habit of handing out nicknames, called him, with deferential recognition, “Re”- Italian for ‘King’ – hence our evocative TanoRè.
Friends. Guests. Customers.
With the support of many friends / guests / customers, we continue the long way that turned the hills from a place of obscure and tiring work, into a landscape where coexist fatigue, dedication and joy. The fatigue and dedication of caring. The joy that emanates from the glasses in the sincere and ancient gesture of friendship.
