Fattoria Dreolino
The Dreolino Winery was founded back in 1939 by Gino Tanini. The rather unusual name ‘Dreolino’ is a diminutive form of Andrea, the name of Gino’s father, who was known locally in his day as Drea. When Gino was born, to indicate the little baby’s lineage, the villagers started to call him Dreolino, or ‘little Drea’.
The Dreolino brand started out on the path to success from its base in the very heart of Rufina. The turning point came in 1967 with the entry into the company of Gino’s son, Raffaello. He purchased the plots outright and designed and constructed the modern new facility - still in use today - where all the barrel-ageing, automatic-bottling and bottle-ageing of our wines is carried out, allowing us to ensure the highest standards of quality-control are applied to all aspects of the production process. Since then, the company has continued to modernise, winning ever-larger market-shares all over the world. |
