An institution more than a farm. Gabriella and Lino, with their son Matteo, fifth generation, can therefore be considered living monuments, witnesses of good viticulture not conditioned by fashions, their wines have the greatest value in their personality.
The Asolo area was once rich in vineyards mainly of Glera, Bianchetta, Verdiso, Marzemina Bianca and the rarer Recantina. For the Forner family nicknamed Pat, winemaking began in 1875, with the spouses Pina and Pietro Forner, the love for the land and its fruits has been handed down from generation to generation until today with Gabriella, Lino and their son Matteo .
