La Vis is a major co-operative near the city of Trentino on the river Adige at the foot of the Dolomites. It is fully modernised and produces some of Italy’s best varietal wines. La Vis, being the Latin word for strength, make a firm commitment that its wines should reflect the best qualities of the Trentino area. It has now merged with the well-known negociant Casa Girelli, thus marrying a strong landholding with an expert commercial team. www.la-vis.com La Vis The Jasci family has been producing wine for three generations, focusing all efforts on the pursuit of the absolute quality of every bottle. A passion for wine that was born with grandfather Pasquale and his wife Maria in the ‘60s, growing over the years thanks to his son Giuseppe and his wife Irma, who gave the historic turn of the organic in 1980. Jasci was among the first wineries in Italy to produce organic: a choice of life even before a choice of production, a process that began already in 1980 when there was no real market for this type of wines.
