Description

History

The history of Inama begins in 1948 when Giuseppe Inama began working as a winemaker; subsequently, in 1965, he purchased the first vineyard within the Soave Classico denomination, the Vigneto Foscarino. The commercial and production turning point occurred around the beginning of 1990 when his son Stefano joined the company and began producing and marketing the first bottles of “Sauvignon Fumè”, subsequently also introducing Soave. A few years later the company also began to focus on the production of Carmenere for the production of quality red wine in the DOC Colli Berici. Today the Inama company is one of the most dynamic and growing companies in the area, it can count on historic vineyards both in the Soave DOC and in the Berici Hills; From 2010 to 2017 Stefano’s children also joined the company, bringing new knowledge and enthusiasm.

In combination it is suitable with white meats, even tasty shellfish, land first courses with truffles or seafood first courses.
