The Contrordine project was born from an idea hatched over dinner one evening between Ivan Giuliani of Terenzuola and restauranteur Davide Minolett of La Rampolina. Together they decided to create a shared project as a way to reunite, bringing them back โelbow to elbowโ as they were during their school days. Ivan began searching for the ideal vineyard in the Alto Piemonte area, specifically in the province of Novara where he was born. As winemaker and owner of Terenzuola in Colli di Luni, Ivan knew how to navigate the splendid soils ranging from alluvial gravel to purple porphyry. After meeting Davide Carlone, a renowned winemaker from Novara, he began to realize his dream of expressing his birthplace through the glass. Ivan began to manage a small plot of land in the Boca DOC from which the Contrordine project was born. Keeping true to the spirit of a renewed bond from the days of childhood, Ivan and Davide enlisted their friend Alfio Antognetti to design their logo: a figure holding a glass, moving forward but looking back. That man is Ivan, with his head at the lake of his childhood and his body at the sea of his current home.
