The Lazio cooperative – which today totals 150 associate partners, 26 employees, and processes 70,000 quintals of grapes every year – has many great reasons to plan with pride and satisfaction the celebrations for the 80th anniversaryof its foundation, which will take place on July 10th, 2025.
The project started in September when the new governance of the company, which succeeded the long era of Luigi Caporicci, who passed away suddenly last May, shared with the associate viticulturists and the institutions the significant moment of the awarding of the grapes destined to give life to two IGT wines, one white and one red. In a limited edition of around 1,300 bottles, these wines will mark a birthday rich in memories, emotions, and future goals.
Today, the cooperative is led by President Luca Del Gallo di Roccagiovine, who on that occasion noted that Gotto d’oro’s 80th anniversary is an opportunity to elevate the names of Marino and Lazio in the main international markets. He emphasized that the company’s legacy in its territory will continue to be represented by the high quality of its wines.
The Vice President, Stefano Serani, sees the ability to manage large-scale business numbers while retaining a family-like character as a major strength of the winery. Serani then explains how the company is focusing on consolidating certain foreign markets and on opening new cross-border routes, as well as expanding nationally, with particular emphasis on the North Italian market. Gotto d’oro is one of the few Italian companies with eighty years of history and significantly enhances the visibility of Lazio’s wine scene.
“To foster a positive impact on the local area from the social value that Gotto d’oro represents, we have launched a competition for the awarding of a scholarship among the students of an Art Institute, whom we have asked to design the labels for two new limited-edition wines that will be released to mark the 80th anniversary of our foundation. We are planning a grand celebration on July 10 next year, which will offer an opportunity to spend an afternoon at the winery and pair our wines with the finest products from the Lazio region.”
“As a demonstration of the strong desire for innovation and modernity that Gotto d’oro today embodies, the Settantacinque75 line is also undergoing a redesign, originally created to celebrate 75 years of the company’s existence. The new graphic design of the line, conceived from the start to act as a true manifesto for responsible and sustainable consumption, will be ready for the wines of the 2024 harvest.”
“In recent years, the company has believed in and invested heavily in meeting the needs of a young, responsible, and informed market. It has recently become the first winery in Lazio to obtain the Equalitas sustainability certification, marking the culmination of a long journey of green transformation that began in 2008 with the establishment of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant and the achievement of the first quality certifications. In 2022, the cooperative joined the Ethical Project to create a circular economy model for collecting and recycling cork stoppers and initiated the development of a Sustainability Report.”
