Gotto d'oro

Gotto d'oro, the wine of the Castelli Romani | A story of commitment and rebirth

In early post-war Italy, the country was semi-destroyed and agriculture was undergoing severe crisis. Viticulture in Lazio had been particularly stricken, so much so that most vineyards had to be replanted. The wine-growers in Marino, in the province of Rome, succeeded with great sacrifice in replanting the vineyards and restarting production, but not in reorganising wine-making and marketing. This is when the founding members of the winery came into play. Forty-one winegrowers driven by trust and hope in a better future despite the disastrous consequences of World War II, refused to give up and, on the rubble of destruction, embarked on a great adventure that continues to this day, following a path of growth and social impulse in our community: the Gotto d’oro cooperative.
