This winery was founded in 1975 by two friends, Mario Pojer and Fiorentino Sandri, with the goal of proving that an untested viticulture region, between the Adige river and the Cembra valley, was capable of producing world class wines. Young Fiorentino inherited his family’s vineyards and Mario was a budding winemaker when their first release, a 1975 Palai Müller-Thurgau, caused quite a stir in the rapidly developing Italian wine scene. At an elevation of 550-750 meters, the Palai vineyard is well-ventilated from the winds that blow north off Lake Garda creating a wine that is stone-fruited, endlessly refreshing and mineral driven.
