Marcello and Matteo Lunelli honored as Family Wine of the Year at Meininger Award 2016

The award-giving ceremony took place on the eve of the opening of Prowein, one of the most important exhibitions in the winemaking sector, during an event with more than 600 guests present, including several VIPs of the international wine industry. During the ceremony Matteo and Marcello Lunelli – respectively president and vice president of Ferrari Winery – received the prestigious prize from the hands of Christoph and Andrea Meininger, main promoters of the initiative and owners of the publishing house Meininger Verlag.

The jury included several journalists working for the wine magazines of the German publishing house, such as “Weinwirtschaft”, “Wine Business International”, “Sommelier” and “Weinwelt”. The jury’s decision to bestow this award to the Lunelli Family was justified by “the ability of the Lunelli Family not only in preserving the heritage of their forefathers, but also for their skill in developing the business both nationally and internationally”.
