An exceptional winery: Costaripa

In het hart van het Italiaanse Valtènesi, in Moniga del Garda, ligt het wijnhuis Costaripa. Omringd door wijngaarden heeft sinds 1936 elke generatie bij Costaripa al haar inspanningen besteed aan het ontwikkelen van uitzonderlijk, vooruitstrevend en intuïtief vakmanschap. Termen die óók wijnimporteur en familiebedrijf Vinites definiëren. Naast hun specialisatie in Italiaanse wijnen heeft Vinites óók een bijzondere en brede selectie aan mooie wijnen waar menig wijnliefhebber’s hart sneller van gaat kloppen.

Within the Costaripa family winery, the third generation is at the helm. As when it all began in the 1930s, they are working at this winery toward precise goals: the dignity of hard toil, the patience to achieve their goals, the prospects of preparing the ground for their children and grandchildren. The next generation of wine lovers and experts.

Innovation is highly valued at Costaripa. The winery works with very sophisticated methods, but with respect for working according to ancient tradition with nature and as a legacy for the descendants.

Rosé all day, everyday

One of the gems from winery Costaripa is the Valtènesi Rosé doc RosaMara. A rosé with flowers, strawberries and raspberries, pomegranate, broad and lush, with almonds, vanilla and a fine bitterness after. This powerful, dry rosé is excellent with a wiener schnitzel, smoked salmon, mussels in white wine and a fresh salad.

Wine importer and family-owned Vinites

Vinites was founded in 1979 by wine enthusiast and owner Eddy de Boer. De Boer left Italy with the mission of conquering the hearts of Dutch wine drinkers with Italian wines. It was the time when Chianti was sold in wicker baskets and Eddy tried to beat French wines in particular with classics such as Barolo and Brunello. To this day, Italian wines are the backbone of the Vinites assortment.

In the years lying between Vinites' inception and now, Vinites has developed in different ways. Since the turn of the millennium, Vinites has been supplying wine to the hotel and catering industry, (online) wine specialty stores, wholesalers and chain stores. Eddy de Boer, together with managing director Henrico van Lammeren, has assembled a professional, passionate and service-oriented team of wine lovers around him and is thus active from Haarlem throughout the Dutch market with a range from a wide selection of wine-producing countries and regions. Here Italian wines play a particularly prominent role and position. In addition, the range has now been enriched with gastronomic non-alcoholic alternatives. Something for everyone!
