Who we are

Origins of the tradition: the Manara family

The Manara family is one of the oldest of those involved in viticulture in the Ziano Piacentino area. It was precisely the Fratelli Manara Winery in 1939 that put the first label with the designation of Gutturnio on the bottles.
For some years now, the Manara winery has been upgrading its facilities, aiming to link the legacy of traditional knowledge to modern winemaking techniques and to assume, in the Piacenza and national wine landscape, a position marked by the quality of a selected, unique and unmistakable product with an original personality.

The vineyard

Our vineyard: love for the land

Located in the small hamlet of Vicomarino, in one of the geo-climatically happiest patches of the hills of Ziano Piacentino, the Tenuta Ferraia farm consists of 40 hectares of vineyards and a real estate complex used for wineries. For the Manara family, wine quality comes first and foremost from the vineyard, which gives the grapes the characteristics of the soil and the area in which the vines are grown.

Attention to the vineyards during vine development continues during harvesting, where the use of modern harvesting equipment has created the right balance between quality and technology.

The Winery

Each step in the winemaking process is designed to respect the character of each grape variety. White grapes are gently pressed to preserve aromas and freshness, while red grapes macerate for a long time to extract tannins and complexity. Aging in steel or barriques ensures wines of rich aromas that best express their authenticity.

Tasting room

A simple, comfortable and modern environment to receive visitors, friends, clients and enjoy a sip of wine in peace. The tasting room is newly built, designed for those who want to enjoy, in a cozy environment, a good glass of wine. A small corner of the cellar where you can relax and enjoy a glass of our wines.

“Our present is the past of others, and what we are today is inseparably linked to those who have gone before us.”
