Weingut Cipolla - Raron

About the winery

Oenologist and winegrower Romain Cipolla is a passionate young man who enjoys a challenge. After learning his craft at Changins University of Viticulture and Oenology, as well as with Claudy Clavien in Miège and Philippe Constantin in Salgesch, he embarked on the project of creating his own wine estate in Upper Valais.

With the support of friends and family, he cultivates around two hectares of vineyards in St German, Raron and Visperterminen. Caring for the vines means respecting the seasons and the environment: everything is done by hand, and mechanical weeding, work on the soil and the maintenance of grass cover are favoured over chemical weeding.

Work in the cellar is governed by two key concepts: the quality of the grapes and a respect for the properties of each variety. The vinification process seeks out delicate aromas and a balance of flavours, with the aim of producing authentic wines with strong personalities.
