The
Vignaluna Winery is based within the delineated Piave DOC
zone, among the fertile plains of the Veneto region of north-east
Italy. Those plains are lapped by the tranquil waters of the
River Piave, a waterway of crucial importance to the whole
of Italy, and along its banks the very best grapes in the
area have been cultivated for years. Two particular native
grape types, Raboso and Verduzzo, flourish here as nowhere
else.
Three factors - the climate of the area, its unusual morphology
(70% clay) and the continuation of a production cycle in which
respect for nature and for time-honored viticultural methods
remains essential - combine to make it possible for us to
produce wines that are the epitome of the proud winemaking
traditions of the Veneto.

The winery has been augmented the addition of a tasting
room with adjacent exhibition, used as a reception area

The
Lunardelli family has been making wine for three generations.
The first member of the family to start working with vines
was the current owner's grandfather, Giovanni Battista, a
share cropper. His son, Luigi, then started to purchase plots
and train the vines using the Sylvoz system. He also constructed
a small cellar next to the main house.

Since 1992,
the winery has been run by Luigi's son, Giovanni Lunardelli,
who qualified as a wine technician in 1988 at the State Technical
Farming Institute in Conegliano before becoming a fully-fledged
enologist in 1998.
Giovanni now concerns himself with all of the winery's viticultural
activities, dedicating a substantial portion of his time to
the condition and performance of the vineyards and personally
overseeing the vinification of the grapes in the cellar complex.

The family's winemaking heritage
has been passed down from father to son across three generations.

The
philosophy of this relatively small-scale producer is to make
wines that encapsulate the culture of the area. Paying dutiful
homage to the rich history of the Veneto, the winery aims
to give proof-positive that the viticultural traditions of
the area are alive and well. This approach seems all the more
important now that we have entered a new millennium, one in
which the atavistic origins of wines are becoming ever more
confused and faint against a backdrop of global homogenization.
Our winery is youthful and dynamic in spirit, and we like
to offer our clients vintage wines of impeccable quality -
we trust that, in the near future, we will be seen as guardians
of authenticity.
