Description
Roeno is situated on the border of Veneto and Alto Adige, east of Lake Garda. The family business was founded in the 1960s by Rolando Fugatti, who has since passed it on to the 2nd generation: Roberta, Cristina and Giuseppe. Roeno makes fresh, mountain-pure wines, characteristic of the region. They use the local specialty, Gewürztraminer and make surprising red wines from the local grape varieties Marzemino and Terdoldego. They also use Müller Thurgau, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
The Roeno Rivoli is the Grandcru among the Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio. The grapes come from the Cru Rìvoli, located between Affi and Roeno's winery in Brentino Belluno. The grapes are picked by hand and carefully selected in the vineyard after which the grapes are carefully destemmed. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. 80% of the wine ferments in stainless steel tanks, the other 20% in large French oak barrels. The latter part also undergoes malolactic fermentation, in which the acids are converted into In the glass, this Rivoli is light straw yellow in color. In the nose, the wine is fine and very clean and intense as we are used to with wines from the high cool areas on the border of the Aldige and the Alto Adige. In the nose we smell lemon peel, pear and white peach. In the mouth, the wine is fresh, elegant and rich with beautiful acids and mineral tones and with a great aftertaste. Delicious with a soft Indian fish curry with ginger and coconut. If you choose traditional, make - just like Roeno himself - these 'strangolapreti', gnocchi of bread and spinach.

Roeno is situated on the border of Veneto and Alto Adige east of Lake Garda. The family business was founded in the 1960s by Rolando Fugatti, who has since passed it on to the 2nd generation: Roberta, Cristina and Giuseppe. Roeno makes fresh, mountain wines, characteristic of the region. They use the local specialty, Gewürztraminer and make surprising rodea wines from the local grape varieties Marzemino and Teroldego. They also use Müller Thurgau, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
The name Roeno is a deduction of founder Rolando's name, with the Greek word Enos, meaning "wine". The winery is located about 30 kilometers north of Garda, literally on the border between Veneto and Alto Adige. However, the winery's focus is on the terroir of Alto Adige. Founded in the 1960s, Roeno quickly became known among the locals for its good restaurant. Roeno particularly caught our eye because of the quality wines from limestone-rich terroirs.
Roeno has vineyards in several regions of origin, including the relatively young IGP Vallagarina for the Marzemino and Teroldego. The Rìvoli area, situated between the town of Affi and the headquarters in Brentino Belluno, is considered by Roeno to be the top area for Pinot Grigio. Roeno makes an almost ruddy colored Pinot Grigio there, which is lightly aged in wood. A real specialty!
The vineyards are nestled on the border between Veneto and Trentino, in the land known as "Terra dei Forti" The winery is surrounded by mountain slopes flanking the Adige River. A land of (no) borders, two words rich in fascination and references, cultural confluences and intertwined lives. The vineyards are all pearls on the banks of the River Adige, between Monte Baldo and the Lessinia plateau. Beyond the Terradeiforti Doc denomination, the vineyards extend to the municipality of Affi and the municipality of Caprino Veronese. Further north, however, they reach the province of Trento, which puts them within the Trentino Doc specification.
