About Corvagialla

Our Roots

Corvagialla was founded in 2007 by Beatrice Arweiler as an organic, circular system farm. After several decades working in fashion and film, she decided to create a place where she could leave a positive impact in the face of climate change. She first planted 300 olive trees, then fruit trees, organic vegetable gardens, then chickens, geese, goats, donkeys, and of course, cats and dogs. The first grape vines were planted in 2010, the first vintage produced in 2013 in the existing caves, and in 2016, the cellar was built and the first commercial vintage was produced. 

Family-Run

In 2018, Beatrice’s son Niccolo received his BS in enology from the University of Mendoza and after several years working alongside Gianmarco Antonuzzi of Le Coste, who was our consultant for the first ten years of operation, took over wine making in 2021. Niccolo's partner Jillian and son Leo lend a hand during harvest.

In the vineyard

We have been certified organic since 2018, though we have always practiced organic farming with regenerative practices, many of them biodynamic and around 80% of the work we do in the olive orchard, vegetable gardens, and vineyard is done by hand.

In the Cellar

We have also always practiced a 0/0 philosophy in the cellar, nothing added, nothing taken away. Our wines are made with native yeasts and spontaneous fermentation, no sulfites or any other additives are added at any point in the process. Our wines are also unfiltered and unfined.

Looking to the Future

Our philosophy is to adhere to our organic/regenerative/ 0/0 practices and make the best wine we can according to our land and the seasons. Climate change has certainly impacted the way we make our wines and we’ve decided that the only choice is to continue to work with the utmost respect for the land, and adapt to the unpredictable nature of the seasons when it comes to the labels we produce.
