Description
The Sangio Brand been studied in honor of two important people of the family: the founders. Sangio is the result by the combination of names “SANdri” and “GIObatta”. Sandri is the nickname of Alessandro in our local language and, how all friends called him.
The new winery was built where the wine culture is tradition, on the hills of FRIULI (North- East of Italy) in the remains of one of the oldest brick factory, equipped with the most advanced technological systems.
Tradition, Passion, Innovation, Quality have always been the points of strengths of the winery.
