The Corte Fornello winery is owned and operated by Ivano and Nereo Venturelli. The business has been in Ivano's family for over 4 generations. There are 20 hectares of land producing many different varietals of wine, passito and grappa. The wine making process has been passed from father to son for 5 generations here and when Ivano has retired his son David will take his place in the family business. Mariella and I spent an evening tour the facilities and talking with Ivano and his family about importing wines to Michigan. They are very interested and have never sent any wines to America! I will keep you all posted as this story continues to develop!
