More about today’s winery:

Cantina Aldeno in Trentino: The landscape finds its own characterization, as well as the people who make viticulture their main activity on which to base their future, their life. And it is precisely this dream that in 1910 led a group of producers to bet on Aldeno wine , deciding to join their efforts in the Cantina Sociale di Aldeno, which represents an example of the fervent cooperative movement that was developing in Trentino. The deed of foundation with the list of the members of the first management of the Social Winery documents the intuition of the farmers, aware that many small realities could have created a solid identity, capable of obtaining an image and an appreciable strength in the market.

A few years later a second cooperative was born: the Aldeno Wine Union. The history of these two cooperatives will accompany the life of the community and town of Aldeno for more than half a century, until, in 1972 Cantina Sociale di Aldeno and Unione Vinicola Aldeno were founded in today's Cantina Aldeno , which was born with the aim to keep alive the historical combination of Aldeno and grapes over the years.
