Description

The Dreolino Winery was founded back in 1939 by Gino Tanini. The rather unusual name ‘Dreolino’ is a diminutive form of Andrea, the name of Gino’s father, who was known locally in his day as Drea. When Gino was born, to indicate the little baby’s lineage, the villagers started to call him Dreolino, or ‘little Drea’. At that time there was another Gino Tanini in the village of Rufina, and so to avoid confusion, the founder decided to use his distinctive nickname as the official name of the company.
