Dall’Emozione al Calice

Vanni was a rally driver and car tester. A racing champion. His story is a journey of success, marked by perseverance and ambition. These are the same qualities he has brought to this new wine project: Vantorosso. Those who know Vanni know that his life has always been about trajectories, curves, and adrenaline.

But the most beautiful challenges are the ones you don't expect. Vantorosso doesn't come from generations of historic winemakers; it originates from a bet with oneself, the desire to start from scratch, with feet on the ground and a lot of humility.

There is a precise moment when speed gave way to patience. Today, the same concentration needed on the track is required among the rows of Valpolicella; the meticulous attention to detail has shifted from the engine to the vineyard. Transitioning from sports driving to the slow pace of the tractor was a return to the land, to real things.

For us, making wine means this: respect for time, honest labor, and the pride of seeing an idea transform into a great wine. When you enter our winery, you don't enter a company like many others: you enter our story, made of challenges, engines, and sincere glasses.

The name Vantorosso is not tied to a family surname but comes from a pure emotion: the one Vanni felt while testing a car from a famous Italian automotive brand. It's not about boasting for merit or special skills; the underlying idea is profoundly different. Here, the concept of "pride" is linked with the dream, the challenge, and the ambition to do well, combined with the desire for this project to continue over time, beyond those who started it.
