Stefano Farina
In the heart of Italy's wine-making tradition, the Stefano Farina winery tells a story that began in 1939, when its founder had the courage to turn his passion into a concrete project, despite the uncertainties of an era marked by war. From a simple family trattoria, where wine was beginning to attract more attention than food, an adventure began that was destined to grow far beyond the walls of Erba, soon becoming a vital centre for children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Each generational transition added new energy and vision, transforming the company from a small local business into a wine group representing three regions that are symbols of Italian viticulture: Piedmont, Tuscany and Puglia. This evolution, built step by step, still preserves the original spirit of tireless passion, love for the land and a desire to share.
The work in the vineyards and cellars of Stefano Farina stems from a philosophy that combines respect for native grape varieties and openness to innovation. In Piedmont, among the hills of Langa and Albese, Nebbiolo, Barolo, Dolcetto and Barbera take shape, intense expressions of a unique territory. In Tuscany, Sangiovese dominates the vineyards of Panzano and Casentino, producing Chianti Classico and red wines with a strong identity. In Puglia, the Salento sun welcomes Primitivo and other Mediterranean grape varieties, capable of expressing the aromas and warmth of a land that looks out to sea. Each estate has been chosen for its natural vocation, with an agronomic approach that focuses on the balance between soil and vine. In the cellar, tradition and modern techniques work together to enhance the purity of the grapes, creating wines that are not simply products, but liquid narratives of landscapes, cultures and family histories.
The Stefano Farina range thus becomes a sensory journey that crosses Italy from north to south. A fascinating curiosity links the company to Puglia: this is where the first wines that the founder traded came from, and the return with the La Rosa del Salice estate has sealed a perfect circle between past and present. Each bottle carries with it the soul of a territory, but also the voice of a family that for over eighty years has continued to transform its passion into an emotion to be shared.
