Cantine Riondo

What Cantine Riondo does

Cantine Riondo S.p.A. is a private Italian winery established in 2008 as the commercial arm of COLLIS Veneto Wine Group, a second-level cooperative consortium aggregating approximately 2,000 winegrowing partners who cultivate 6,000 hectares of vineyards across the provinces of Verona, Vicenza, and Padova. The company is headquartered in Monteforte d'Alpone (Via Cappuccini 6) and operates five grape-harvesting and vinification points within the group. Grapes are processed into still and sparkling wines across six primary Veneto DOP/IGP territories: Valpolicella, Prosecco, Pinot Grigio delle Venezie, Soave, Colli Berici, and Garda. The portfolio spans Amarone and Amarone Riserva, Valpolicella Ripasso, Recioto, Prosecco (including Millesimato and Rosé DOC), Pinot Grigio, Soave, and a ready-to-drink line (Ispritz), distributed under six core brands (Riondo, Casalforte, Casa Burti, Lunardi, Ceccato, Collezione Falceri) plus the Ispritz cocktail line.

The underlying technology is traditional viticulture and oenology augmented by cooperative-scale supply integration: agronomic protocols developed with research institutions guide 2,000 growers across 6,000 hectares, and modern winemaking equipment operates at five harvest points. Quality and compliance infrastructure includes IFS, BRC, Equalitas sustainability, and Organic (EC 834/2007) certifications, alongside a Codice Etico under Italian Law 231/01. Winemaking differentiation is domain-specific rather than technology-driven: appassimento for Amarone, Charmat method for sparkling, and organic vinification protocols without systemic pesticides.

Cantine Riondo generates revenue primarily through B2B distribution of packaged wine to the Ho.Re.Ca. (Hotel/Restaurant/Café) and GDO (large-scale retail) channels in Italy and across 60+ international markets, supplemented by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (shop.cantineriondo.com). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a transaction-fee basis across multiple SKUs and price tiers. The company reported FY2019 revenue of €44.5 million and 21 million liters packaged, with EBITDA of €3.5 million (+15% versus 2018). The company is wholly owned by COLLIS VENETO WINE GROUP S.C.A.C. and is led by General Director Gianfranco Gambesi (appointed March 2020).
