Azienda Agricola Inama
Giuseppe Inama bought his first vineyard on the Foscarino hill in the Soave Classico area in 1965. This was the beginning of a whole collection of vineyards with unique terroirs that today belong to the Inama family. For 25 years, they produced wines only for their own consumption, and also sold grapes to other estates. All this continued until Stefano Inama, Giuseppe's son, took the helm. In 1991, Stefano released his first wine. It was 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on the volcanic soils of Soave Classico - Vulcaia Sauvignon. Critics enthusiastically received this wine and Stefano enthusiastically continued his work. Soave Classico wines appeared in different styles: light and elegant Vin Soave; complex and mineral Vigneti di Foscarino; powerful and full-bodied Vigneto du Lot, as well as other wines from international varieties: Vulcaia Fume - Sauvignon fermented in barrels and Chardonnay from volcanic sites.
In the late 1990s, the family discovered the Colli Berici area to the east of Soave. This is an area with an unusually warm microclimate and soils with a high clay content. Here Stefano Inama began producing red wines from international varieties, with a particular focus on the Carmenere variety. Today, the Inama family owns the largest Carmenere vineyard in Europe.
The estate is part of the Vignaioli Indipendenti association, an association of independent winemakers who produce wine only from their own grapes. All of the family's vineyards are farmed exclusively organically, although you will not find this mentioned on the labels. Stefano Inama likes to repeat that "you should drink wine because you like it - there can be no other reason."
