We often (and proudly) know to follow the impetous wisdom of the heart rather than make computed choices. Our vineyards were planted in a well-suited yet not famed vinegrowing area in the plains and our daily work is meant to communicate its expression at best while celebrating its characters of elegance, consistency, and, above all, balance. This uphill climb ignited our tenacity, while the lack of expectations to fulfill gifted us the freedom to fully express the most unyielding facets of our character.

Wine is an ambassador of Terroir, that is a given. Yet, the human factor is not only an indispensable one: it is the most frail and fickle and hence the nodal one in defining the character of a wine. This is an opportunity Nature bestows us that we are grateful for and we take it proudly: our wines reflect our values through their contemporary, idyllic, and harmonious identity.

Together with our efforts for the acknowledgment of our Terroir is our love for a great “underdog”: Pinot Grigio, an emblematic variety of this corner of Italy, whose strong character is obvious just at the sight of its purple skin, and which has fallen victim of human workings that debased it. By vinifying four different interpretations, we want to highlight the wealth and precious diversity of this grape.

It’s not only about making the best wine we can – we want to do something we believe in.

Gino, a hardworking member of a tenant-farming family, was also responsible for the production of the wine of the estate on which the Scarbolo family lived. Over the seasons he developed a propensity and a particular feeling for winemaking that left a mark.

With great enthusiasm and passion, in the fifties Gino moved to Lauzacco whit his family, where he had purchased his own fields and had decided to grow grapes among other crops. Indeed, he started producing wines which he sold locally in bulk, and started setting the foundations of the winery as we know it today.

In 1982, Valter, who had grown up learning the dedication and passion for winegrowing from his dad, decided to study viticulture and oenology to continue the family business with a further qualitative leap: he planted his first vineyard inspired by the French school, which was characterized by narrow plant density and low yields, and began selling the wine in bottles rather than in bulk.

Vintage after vintage, the vineyards grew in number and Scarbolo took up the current profile. The traces of the tractor wheels left behind since 60 years ago are continued today by Valter and Maria Grazia together with Lara and Mattia, who have injected fresh energy and creativity into the family winery leading it to a new chapter.
