OUR TERRITORY

COMPANY

We are a family story, that talks about the future.

Cantina Danese today is the result of many years of experience in the world of wine, it is a family story that has passed down knowledge and intuitions generation after generation. Since 1950, with Mario Danese, we began to learn about wine, with an approach linked to research in the selection of wines throughout Italy. Tasting after tasting we have traced a new path linked to quality, knowledge and technology. A path always oriented towards the best, which today has led us to us to a perfect balance: Our wines have a courage of innovation and at the same time the solidity of a family.

OUR VALUES

ONE COMPANY, ONE FAMILY

Today it is still us, the Danese family

A company that thinks big, but does so with the presence and empathy of a family. Mario Danese introduced us to the world of wine and laid down the roots of what is now a reality present throughout the world, but always with the same family behind it. Luca Danese, Mario's son, is today at the helm of the winery, supported by his eldest children, Riccardo and Rachele, and his wife Samanta Lonardoni. And, in the not to distant future, Rebecca and Raffaele. Raffaele, who is already studying oenology. A solid and visionary passing of the baton.

THE FAMILY MEMBERS

Luca Danese

“I believe in a high quality wine, without defects, extremely democratic and within everyone's reach”

Luca Danese inherits the experience in the world of wine from his family and decided to grow in this sector by studying oenology at San Michele all'Adige (Trento). He arrived in the family cellar in the nineties and immediately began to work in the wine-making department. He also gained outside experience in other companies, but in 2001 he took over the management of Cantina Danese: he trained in the analysis laboratory while creating a strategy to take the company abroad. He truly believes in innovation, invests in certifications, and creates company lines. Today he is supported in the company by his son Riccardo Danese.

LE PERSONE DELLA FAMIGLIA

Riccardo Danese

“My goal is to make the family business become a productive excellence, without ever losing the warmth and humanity of a family”

Riccardo Danese, born in 2001, follows in the winemaking footsteps of his family and studied oenology in Conegliano (Treviso) before specializing in San Michele all'Adige as a wine technician. He gained various experience in companies throughout northern Italy which allowed him to enrich his knowledge in the world of wine. Today he supports his father in managing the company with a vision aimed at continuous improvement.

THE FAMILY MEMBERS

Rachele Danese

“Wine adds a smile to friendship and a spark to love.”
Edmondo de Amicis

Driven by curiosity and passion, Rachele Danese chose to enter the family business and begin her journey in the world of wine with enthusiasm and curiosity. To date, her role is to support the back office, but it is also likely that you would meet her at trade fairs, where she participates, meeting people and discovering wines. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new, with the enthusiasm of growing within a company that she has always known.
