The "Vini Varesini" Vi.Va. Association was founded in the autumn of 2008 with the desire to safeguard the territory and agricultural production in the Varese area.
Small and medium-sized local wineries have joined together, animated by the desire to create wines of excellence with 'ancient' and 'natural' flavours, which reflect in their organoleptic characteristics the peculiarities of the territory. To do this, they have for some years now resumed wine production from Merlot, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Shiraz, Traminer and Chardonnay grapes.
A convinced and unwavering commitment, which on 11 October 2005 obtained the IGT certification of 'Vino dei Ronchi Varesini': an important recognition of the typicality and quality of the local wine, as well as a decisive step for the development of wine production in Varese.
The 'Vini Varesini' mark that you will find on the bottles is a guarantee that the wines of the associated producers are 100% from the territory of the province of Varese from cultivation to production.
