Fontavera wines are crafted by winemaker Andrea Sartori, the great-grandson of the founder of the still family-owned Sartori di Verona Winery in 1898, now considered one of the most important wineries of the North-East. Andrea has strongly voiced his concerns of the impact of climate change and advocated the need to support the future of organic viticulture combined with higher altitude plantings. The wines of Fontavera are a direct result of his ambition, seeking out older, organically farmed vineyards grown on higher, cooler sites.

Bernard Schurr began working with horses from an early age, following a firm family tradition that enabled him to develop and showcase his affinity with farming and the land more broadly. Working in the viticulture community and with wine seemed like an easy and obvious transition for him. Bernard’s longstanding relationships with generational grape growers are based on mutual beliefs in viticulture, winemaking and ultimately the wines they like to share, as wine is of course for sharing. Bernard produces small parcels of exceptional hand-crafted wines that showcase the region and the vintage from one of France’s most classic winemaking regions.
