The origins of the Garofoli winery date back to the late 1800s, when Antonio Garofoli, in 1871, was already involved in the sale and production of local wines.
Gioacchino Garofoli is currently a joint stock company owned and managed by the brothers Carlo and Gianfranco Garofoli.
The history of Garofoli is a story of men and a family, which for five generations has been identified in the world of wine production.
The same philosophy has always guided the company: continuous updating of production techniques, but respect for traditional and historical systems of making wine; attention to the evolution of the market and its needs, but fidelity to the value of the peculiarities that the traditions of the territory have transmitted.
The Garofoli brand is synonymous with elegance and composure, with classicism, with exquisite and vegetal aromas and with intense bouquets.
