Roeno
Siblings Cristina, Giuseppe and Roberta Fugatti created Roeno as a tribute to their father Rolando, on the border between Trentino and Veneto, in the gorgeous Terra dei Forti area. They cultivate the traditional grapes of this area: Teroldego, Marzemino, Riesling, Müller Thurgau, and the native Enantio grape, an ancient variety known since the Romans time. Giuseppe’s precise, respectful approach draws from century old German and Austrian winemaking traditions, resulting in wines of the purest varietal character, freshness, and balance.

Enantio Terradeiforti DOC
Enantio is a native grape of the “Terra dei Forti” a small area on the border of Trentino and Veneto, dotted by ancient fortifications. It was first mentioned by Pliny The Elder in 79 d.C, but has never been planted or grown elsewhere. It is cultivated on sandy soils along the Adige River, with the traditional “Pergola Trentina” system. For decades it has been mistakenly included in the Lambrusco family of grapes, but recent DNA analysis has proved no relationship. Most of the vineyards are on their own rootstocks. This is a truly unique, rare wine with a peculiar flavor profile that blends supple wild berries with notes of menthol and spices.
