There are professions that have as a prerequisite for being carried out not (only) talent and a certain attitude but love for the land and nature. You can’t be a good winemaker if you don’t get in close contact with nature.
Carlo Roveda has felt this strong call for the earth since he was a child, as he himself says: “Since I was a child I have sought and, over time, kept alive, an indispensable relationship with nature and with the earth. This indissoluble combination influenced and characterized my first steps, teaching me to deeply love the peasant culture and the sacrifice of men, coming to condition all my future choices and thus marking the course of my studies, maturity and the precious achievements made today among vineyards and cellars. A blue or misty sky, the rays of the setting sun, the warmth of the bunches in the rows between the flowing red of the must that noisily learns over time in an alcoholic and skilful becoming. Simply my work, a passion born of my origins, a child’s dream that became a daily reality. ”
Graduated in 1984 as an Enotechnician at the School of Oenology “G. Cerletti” in Conegliano, in 1992 Roveda obtained the title of ENOLOGIST. He began his working career in 1989 in Friuli and continued in Lazio until 2005. From 2006, he became a freelancer and, subsequently, created the Oenological Consultancy company.
