Az. Agr. Vigna 800 di Gianfranco Elampini
About the Winery
I am Gianfranco Elampini, a winemaker in the heart of Valpolicella. In 2001, I founded Vigna '800 with a single ambition: to produce authentic wine using only the grapes from my land, following the traditions passed down by my father, Gino. For me, winemaking is about more than just crafting a product; it’s about honoring the genuine flavors of our territory and the love we hold for our land. A glass of wine tells the story of the land it comes from, its origins, and its evolution. Sitting in the shade of the vines, I can savor the result of a solar year, transforming the gifts of nature into the renowned wines of Valpolicella.
Vigna '800 takes its name from an ancient carved stone, symbolizing a tribute to history and tradition. The name reflects the passage of time—marking both the end of one century and the beginning of another—while holding fast to the traditional winemaking techniques that continue to guide us today. For me, making wine is like raising children; each bottle needs to be nurtured, listened to, and carefully guided to maturity.
