A dream that becomes reality, the dream of two brothers, united by fraternal love and a passion for viniculture. Born and raised in the midst of nature, Dario and Fabio have always appreciated the authenticity and the goodness of their land, Valpolicella. Love and passion that allowed him to do the most beautiful job in the world: the winemaker. Love handed down to children too. Fascinated by the world of viniculture, now they are the new driving force of the company. The family union is the heart of this company, hence the decision to dedicate to the members of the family labels, such as San Nicola, El Dario, So fi c, Fameja (Venetian dialect that means family). The whole family takes an active part in the company activity: Fabio and Nicola manage all the operations in the vineyards and in the olive groves, Sofi is an oenologist and manages the production and quality control, while Elena manages sales, tastings and tourist groups.

The story of the Accordini Igino Winery began in 1821 in the heart of Valpolicella, an area with strong and deeply rooted tradition of viticulture and wine making. This passion began thanks to an inheritance: three hectares of vineyards, whose wine was produced only for domestic use; the family used to love to spend springs and its spare time in this Cru, called “Le Bessole”. The successful story started here, from a domestic production to a national and international business, thanks to the tireless and devoted work of Guido Accordini, Igino’s son, and his wife Liliana, who are managing the winery towards oenological innovation, never forgetting tradition.
