Cantina Girlan, State-of-the-Art Winemaking
Cantina Girlan was founded in 1923 in an ancient farm from the 16th century. It started when 23 winegrowers came together and laid the foundation stones of what was later to become the winery you see today. The walls, steeped in ancient tradition, and the labyrinthine corridors of the cellar harbour the secrets of state-of-the-art winemaking technology and hold the ideal conditions for ageing our wines.
