Oratorio di San Lorenzo

The area of the Oratorio di San Lorenzo is a small valley surrounded by an unspoilt nature, a mystic place where monks lived in the past.

The first vintage of this wine, 2004, expresses already what we expected: the uniqueness of a grape (Carmenere) that in the Colli Berici produces emotions which cannot be repeated elsewhere.

The microclimate in this area is unique. The vineyard, is affected positively the influence of the adjacent forest, which gives organic substances like limestone and clay and gives origin to important temperature gaps. The area is often hot during the day and fresh at night.

The Carmenere has a unique story to tell: our most exclusive wine to present to customers.
In 2009 Inama launches the new DOC: “COLLI BERICI D.O.C. CARMENERE RISERVA” with the label Oratorio di San Lorenzo: Inama is the only winery to have a unique project on the Carmenere in Europe.

The label represents the Oratorio di San Lorenzo, the church that looks out onto our vineyard of Carmenere. Projected into a dream-like dimension, the building takes on a broader significance: a dancer, balancing on a ball, turns her back on the church to face God, who offers her a heart. It is a juxtaposition between the sacred and the profane, of which wine is a metaphor. High up in the sky, the sun bathes the Oratorio, symbolizing the quest for perfect ripeness, key to our project with Carmenere.
