The Producer

Having decided to establish a vineyard to pioneer the production of Italian style wines, Enzo Bettio and his wife Margaret searched to find just the right locality to realise their dream. Extensive research showed that the climate and sunshine hours of Auckland's East Coast are virtually equivalent to the wine growing area of Verona, which produces Amarone and Valpolicella. The climate and soil conditions are similar to the hills in Alba, which is famous for its Barolo. Before long, Enzo and Margaret had purchased a property in Clevedon, on the northern fringe of the Hunua Ranges, overlooking the Coromandel Peninsula and Waiheke Island. This property has become home to Vin Alto (meaning "High Wine").
