CIABOT TANASIO - A PEARL FOUNDED ON THE PASSION FOR WINE

Ciabot Tanasio - an ancient name spanning more than 70 years of history, was created by the Sobrero family, who passionately cultivates the vineyards of the gentle hills of Castiglione to extract their delicious nectar and transform it into wine. This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and is now in the hands of the third generation of Francesco Sobrero. A dynamic winery in tune with the times.

Sobrero Winery - Passion, love, and tradition. A growing passion, a love that grows stronger, and a great tradition closely linked to the land and the growing area. Three words, three "articles of faith" that merge and exist for only one purpose: excellence in wine! Since the 1940s and the efforts of grandfather Francesco, the lifeblood of the Sobrero winery has continued to intensify. Since the 1960s with Settimo and since 2000 with Pier Franco and Flavio, the winery has experienced years of continuous growth: from the sale of loose wine to bottled wine, from the purchase of new vineyards to expansion into export markets. The wines produced by the Sobrero family are a constantly rising parabola, a symbol of modernity that traverses time without destroying its foundations: the tradition that accompanies the work in the vineyard and in the cellar step by step.
