Sauro Maule

When Sauro Maule was twenty-five, he made a decision that would reshape his family's land forever: trade cattle for vines and commit every hectare of the Colli Berici hills to natural wine. What emerged from that choice is Il Cavallino, a small estate in San Germano dei Berici that stands as one of Veneto's most quietly compelling natural-wine addresses.

The farm traces its roots to Sauro's father, Lino Maule, who raised cattle and horses on the limestone hills southeast of Vicenza for more than three decades. In 2010 Sauro returned from agricultural studies at the Trentin institute in Lonigo and convinced himself the land had a different future. He began renting and replanting parcels, working alongside Angiolino Maule of La Biancara -- the founding figure of VinNatur and no relation -- from 2011 through 2016. During that apprenticeship he learned soil science, organic viticulture, and cellar restraint. In 2017 he converted an old cattle shed on the family property into his own winery and produced his first commercial releases under the Il Cavallino name.
