Casa Vinicola Gioacchino Garofoli

The history of the Garofolis is a story of people and of a family that has been identified with winemaking for five generations. The same philosophy has always guided them: a constant updating of production techniques while respecting traditional and historic winemaking methods; attention to the evolution of the market and its requirements along with loyalty to the values of the special characteristics that the traditions of the territory have transmitted. The vineyards owned by the company are located on estates that cover a total area of about 50 hectares (123.5 acres). They are situated in the communities of Montecarotto (at Cupo delle Lame), Ancona (at Paterno and Piancarda) and Castelfidardo (at Acquaviva).

The characteristics of each property are the following: Garofoli produces its wine in two locations. The winery at Serra de' Conti, located in the classic production zone of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi wine, vinifies the Verdicchio grapes using the most modern techniques. The grapes used in the production of Rosso Cònero are vinified in the winery at Castelfidardo, located in the production zone. In addition, the winery also vinifies the grapes for Rosso Piceno as well as other non-D.O.C. white and red grapes. The Castelfidardo winery is also the site of wine maturation and ageing, the preparation of sparkling wines, and bottling. The company’s administrative and sales offices are housed in the Castelfidardo winery.
