Marino Barani & Figli

The story of Vini Barani began in the early 1950s when Marino and Gina Barani purchased land near the Vigoleno castle. Originally a nursery, where Marino cultivated and sold prized native vine cuttings, the venture gradually shifted to winemaking due to the exceptional quality of the land. Today, the winery is managed by Stefano Barani, Marino’s grandson, who preserves the family tradition. The vineyards, covering four hectares, produce DOC varieties, and the winery began transitioning to organic production in 2022.

Vini Barani specializes in crafting wines from select DOC varieties, including Ortrugo, Barbera, Croatina (Bonarda), Sauvignon Blanc, and the ancient Santa Maria grape. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested in small boxes to maintain the highest quality. The winery is dedicated to preserving its historic vineyards while embracing modern, organic farming methods. Each wine reflects the unique terroir of the Vigoleno region, offering a taste of tradition combined with a commitment to sustainability.
