Banville Wine Merchants Import Portfolio Winter 2023 - Flipbook - Page 20
Lia Banville and her team select the wines each vintage for the Dipinti label made
by Cantina La Vis in Trentino. The Banville team knows that La Vis, unlike other
"cantine sociali" in this area, is highly driven to produce the highest quality wines
possible. In 1980 Cantina La Vis started the "Progetto Qualita" by embarking on an
ambitious project known as "Zonazione." Here, La Vis exploits its unique symbiotic
relationship with the renowned enological institute San Michele all'Adige. Each
vineyard of each member was evaluated and its soil composition analyzed.
Altitude, prevailing wind, typical precipitation, and exposition were next
considered before determining the best varietals to be planted and the optimum
way to cultivate a particular site. The painting on each label in the La Vis Dipinti
series was created by Italian artist Paola de Manincor. Each of the Dipinti depicts
a scene from the "Storie di Vite" (Life in the Vineyard).
