Tamellini

In 1998, brothers Gaetano and Pio Francesco Tamellini did something almost unthinkable in Soave: they walked away from the local cooperative their grandfather had helped found back in 1930, took the 15 hectares they had inherited, and decided to bottle under their own name. The bet paid off. Today Tamellini is one of the appellation's most respected estates, farming 50 hectares in the Costeggiola zone near the village of San Vittore and producing just three wines, all from 100% Garganega.

The Tamellini story begins with grandfather Ettore, who mortgaged his land in the 1930s to help establish the Soave cooperative with thirty other growers. His son Luigino continued the vineyard work and planted the first estate parcels in 1947, leaving behind a guiding principle the brothers still live by: "What you give to the land will come back to you a hundredfold." When Luigino fell ill, teenage sons Pio and Gaetano stepped into the rows, studying by day and farming by night -- Pio in chemical engineering, Gaetano in agriculture. After their father's death in 1997, they claimed their inheritance and their independence.
