The Azienda Agricola Tamburino Sardo, founded in 1968 by Adriano Fasoli is now managed together with his two sons Stefano and Giuliano. It is located on the hills of Custoza, at the highest point, known as the Tamburino Sardo hill. The name derives from a page in the history of Italian Independence of 1848-1866 mentioned by De Amicis in his book “Cuore”. For 50 years the Fasoli family has been producing quality and local wines ranging from Custoza to Bardolino and thanks to a joint venture of love, also Valpolicella Superiore, Ripasso and Amarone.
The founder of the company, Adriano has been working in the vineyard since he was a boy as was the custom in the past. He passed on his passion, his seriousness and above all his technical skills in the vineyard and in the cellar to his children and is still at their side in the management of this big-hearted company.
