Roeno is situated on the border of Veneto and Alto Adige east of Lake Garda. The family business was founded in the 1960s by Rolando Fugatti, who has since passed it on to the 2nd generation: Roberta, Cristina and Giuseppe. Roeno makes fresh, mountain-pure wines, characteristic of the region. They use the local specialty, Gewürztraminer and make surprising red wines from the local grape varieties Marzemino and Terdoldego. They also use Müller Thurgau, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.

The Roeno Chardonnay Le Fratte comes from the Valdat DOC. In these northern hills and mountains of Trentino-Alto Adige, wines have an edge that reflects the region's Austrian history. Characteristic of these wines is the beautiful acidity, the beautiful purity and aging potential.

Located in the south of Trento in the slightly larger region of Valdije, the small DOC of Valdije Terra dei Forte has three distinctive wines: Pinot Grigio, Lambrusco and the red wine Casetta and nowadays also more Chardonnay as the relatively cool high-altitude area especially with Chardonnay for elegance.

This Roeno Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris) comes from the 'Tera Alta' vineyard in Valdanke. The grapes are picked by hand. After fermentation, part of the wine undergoes a malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, whereby the sharp (malic) acids are converted into softer (lactic) acids. The rest of the wine continues to mature in stainless steel tanks on the lees ('sur lie'), which makes the wine softer and gives it complexity. The Pinot Grigio Tera Alta is lemon yellow with notes of tropical fruit and pear in the nose. In the mouth the wine is very elegant with a nice balance between fresh acidity and tropical fruit. Clearly more elegant and fresher given the somewhat cooler area. Due to the nice balance between the fruit and the acids and that the alcohol percentages are always very controlled, this is the perfect aperitif, but also very tasty with shellfish and crustaceans.
