Words from the winemaker

What Manfred and Damian say about this wine

Our story

What connects us with this winery...

We simply love drinking wine from the Cina brothers. Every one we've tasted so far... ;-) But not only that, we have also had many good conversations and we share the same attitude: "Only those who trust their visions can change reality. Because visions are what move us forward." And as luck would have it, we remodelled our restaurant and they remodelled their wine cellar at virtually the same time - during Corona, in 2020. If you haven't seen the cellar yet, it's definitely worth a visit!

Fernand Cina SA

Hard-working and complementary are the adjectives used to describe the brothers Cina, Manfred and Damian. Both studied viticulture and oenology, but above all learned the trade. From a very young age with their parents Fernand & Rose-Marie, Saturdays were spent in the vineyard rather than on the football pitch with friends. Despite the hard work, Manfred and Damian saw the great development potential of their father's business early on and rightly envisioned a promising future.

The Cina brothers have been working in their business for more than 30 years, surrounded by a meticulous and enthusiastic team. Their motives? Always one step ahead, producing excellent wines, developing innovative grape varieties in Valais, being positive and, above all, close to the customer. The winery is known for its diverse range of specialties. They cultivate an exceptionally large number of grape varieties on 20 hectares of their own vineyards, which enables them to offer around 40 different wines.

In their work in the vineyard, they focus on natural and quality-oriented care of the vines. The work in the vines is the most important activity in the annual calendar and forms the basic building block for high-quality wine. From the vine to vinification and bottling, the two brothers cultivate the wine with great dedication. Wine production is far more than just a job for them, it is a passion and a pleasure for both of them to marvel at this phenomenon every year and to be a part of it.

Montepulciano

«The wine with the bees»

The sun-hungry Montepulciano is one of the most important grape varieties in Italy. The wines made from it can be drunk both young and somewhat more mature. Montepulciano is an old grape variety. Because of the similarity in name, it is often confused with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which, however, is made from Sangiovese. The Montepulciano grape variety is widespread in central Italy and is made into the well-known red wine Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in Abruzzo.

Montepulciano produces dark, full-bodied wines that are rich in extract and are usually vinified dry. Montepulciano wines are also characterised by a velvety texture, a full body and the taste of berries, cherries and strong spices - plums and tobacco can also be tasted. If the quality is right, the wines from the Montepulciano grape are balanced and finely spiced.
