In the heart of Emilia-Romagna, in 1983, a project was born destined to forever change the way everyday wine is perceived in Italy. The brand came to life from the union of two wine cooperatives – Caviro and Corovin – with the aim of offering quality wine that was accessible and rooted in tradition. The name itself evokes conviviality and warmth, recalling Italian taverns where wine accompanied every family meal. Since its beginnings, wine has stood out for its innovation, becoming the first Italian wine sold in a carton thanks to the collaboration with Tetra Pak and the University of Bologna. This pioneering choice in the wine world made the brand a constant presence in Italian homes and, over time, abroad as well, reaching as many as 46 countries under different local names.
Over the years, Tavernello has managed to evolve while staying true to its values. In 1995, the introduction of the screw cap further revolutionized the market, improving preservation and ease of use. Another turning point came in 2003 with the switch to the Square format, representing a new phase in the brand’s visual identity. More recently, between 2023 and 2024, the brand launched a complete sustainable packaging redesign, using renewable materials and significantly reducing CO2 emissions. The graphics were also reimagined to convey a more contemporary image, strengthening the connection with Italian culture and new lifestyles. Today, Tavernello is not just a wine, but a story that spans generations, with a clear mission: to bring to the table a product that is genuine, transparent, and environmentally respectful.
The product range is vast and designed to meet every need. From the classic line, consisting of red, rosé, and white, to the more modern and sparkling varieties, each label has its own personality. For example, red combines body and drinkability in a balance that recalls rural traditions and the pleasure of Italian dining. For those who prefer more delicate and aromatic nuances, sparkling offers a freshness that pairs perfectly with aperitifs or light dishes, while the white version represents a versatile choice designed for multiple occasions. Among the most refined offerings is Tavernello gold, a premium line that expresses superior quality and a more careful selection of grapes. Innovation is also present with Tavernello spritz, a ready-to-drink beverage created for those seeking convenience without sacrificing taste. The organic range and the sulfite-free options, such as Sunlight, complete the offering with a strong focus on health and the environment.
The variety of wines under the Tavernello brand also finds a place in simple, everyday pairings. For example, a red pairs perfectly with traditional Italian products such as cured meats, turning every aperitif into an authentic and familiar moment. In many Italian kitchens, wine is an integral part of daily life and accompanies typical dishes with simplicity and character. In this narrative, the role of wine is central because it embodies an ideal of wine that is accessible yet authentic, capable of telling the story of the land in every sip.
