This is the history of the Avanzi family and their passion for the land. This passion transformed into a business producing wines which dates back to 1931 when Mr. Giovanni Avanzi made an exellent red wine from grapes cultivated on the west shore of Lake Garda. The company grew with the purchase of the splendid seventeenth-century estate in Manerba del Garda which would become the setting and prestigious premises of the first quality red wines and "chiaretti".

Tradition carried on in the 60's with sons Gianpietro and Alessandro, who contributed enthusiastically to the development of the winery. Today, it is the founder's children and grandchildren who carry on inherited passion and tradition of Lake Garda wines making "Avanzi" synonymous with history and prestige.
