CANTINE VIRGILI
It was founded in the early 1900s by Angelo Virgili, a descendant of Luigi, who saw in the vineyard a valid alternative to animal husbandry rooted in the territory. This is how the first screw plant in the fund called "IL SERRAGLIO" started. At the beginning of the twentieth century they acquired the "Montaldo" company located north of Mantua on the moraine hills that form the natural dam formed during the glaciations at Lake Garda. In Mantua the geographical and economic center of the province is the transformation cellar. The Virgili Winery is developing a very ambitious and dynamic export program in various countries, and especially in the United States and in Europe. Since the last twenty years of the last century the Virgili family has knowledge in the field of viticulture: Luigi Virgili (grandfather of the current owner of the same name) was tenant of the Marquis Benedetto Sordi to the San Giacomo delle Segnate, where he produced wine. Later with his son Angelo he moved to the Varana di Quistello and the second generation cultivated and vinified in Bondanello before moving to Mantua, where Angelo passed the baton to his son Luigi. The latter is now joined in the management of the Virgili Cellars by the third generation, that is, by the sons Andrea and Paolo.
