A family
story.

The land on which the Azienda Agricola Salvetta vineyard stands has long been given over to organic winegrowing.

Going back through the years, its history reaches as far as the sixteenth century.

More recently, in the early nineteen-thirties, the heirs of the winegrower Giacomo Sommadossi sold the land to Dario Salvetta, who began the long family tradition carried on by his sons Renato, Umberto, Franco and Giancarlo until 2003.

A deep passion for the vineyard brought one of the brothers, Giancarlo, back to the land and to the cellar, where with renewed enthusiasm he built an organic wine estate whose roots lie proudly in the history of this place.

From that tradition he recovered old practices in growing and handling the grapes, bringing them back into the making of the white wine most deeply tied to Trentino: Nosiola, and even more so with the return of Vino Santo Trentino, the passito already made in Sarche by 1550, where an inventory mentions “cadara vini sancti in cellario sub hospitio”, the oldest record of this wine in Valle dei Laghi. Nineteenth-century documents show it was exported across Europe — Paris, Antwerp, Trieste — and even to Australia.
