A century

Founded in Pasian di Prato in 1968, the Wine Company Alessandro Lunardelli, embodies the experience and the ultra centennial tradition of the Lunardelli family in the enological field

The Origins

Some generations ago, in fact, the Lunardelli Company produced and traded wine in a farm situated in one of the best production areas in Veneto. Alessandro Lunardelli, grew up and trained in the paternal school and after moving to Friuli for family reasons in the year 1968, decided to start his own wine business. For this reason, the 25-year old Alessandro, first rented and then bought one of the most ancient wine cellars in Friuli, where still today the company has its centre. Even if he had quite a large experience, that decision of Alessandro Lunardelli was a great risk. In fact, he wanted to make sure that also outside the region people knew the many good, but until then hidden, qualities of Friulian wines.

Alessandro Lunardelli however did not loose faith and, thanks to his remarkable professional abilities, along with an innate affability and an uncommon tenacity, in a short time he succeeded in starting an activity that, although initially a modest amount of trade, soon came to the 2,.500 hectolitres of wine mark and reached beyond 100,000 bottles produced and traded in the year 1998. The Wine Company Lunardelli initially only traded a few types of loose wine. Slowly however, the owner, Alessandro Lunardelli, established the bases of the current company, searching in the best wine areas of the region for a series of small producers that have allowed him to widen and improve day after day the quality of the offer. Today the company offers to its customers more than 15 types of wine coming from the DOC areas (with certified quality): Aquileia, Collio, Colli Orientali, Friuli - Isonzo and Friuli - Latisana.
