The Forner family

In generation after generation, the love for the land and its fruits is passed down within the family, harvesting by hand and toasting to each new season. Today as it was then.

Values and philosophy

Respect for the perfect balance of nature, for tradition, and for the land. These are the values that have guided the company in obtaining the SQNPI certification and in the creation of the new underground cellar, innovative in its choice of materials and compact dimensions. A blend of new and old in which the company has always believed, expressed in its historic mission: the enhancement of native grape varieties through modern winemaking techniques.

History

Since 1875, the ownership of the Terre di Pat estate of the Comel family has belonged to the Forner family, nicknamed "Pat" since time immemorial. At the origin of the family tradition, we find the spouses Pina and Pietro Forner, who passed down to their descendants a profound love for the land and the ability to feel its vital spirit. A precious heritage of knowledge and perceptions that lives on in Gabriella, Lino, and their son Matteo, the latter now leading the company with the same passion and vinifying great grapes to obtain excellent wines, as has been done for four generations.
