History
The family is the heart of the business, the territory is the center of gravity.
“Our story began with grandfather Gian Pietro. It was he who began this tradition in the 1960s. Dissatisfied with the wooden barrels to produce Sliwovitz, the plum distillate, he had looked for a steel tank to take as a model to start a own production. With the collaboration of craftsmen and with the raw material purchased, he created the first steel tank.
Little more than a boy, his son Gian Paolo took over the management of the business, dedicating himself exclusively to the production of tanks, winemakers and autoclaves.
It was exactly from that moment that Gortani products began to enter the winemakers’ cellars.
Growth continuity
With Gian Paolo Gortani at the helm, the company continues to grow thanks to the commitment, improvement and maintenance of the values that have characterized its history.
The Amaro site has undergone two significant expansions with the aim of optimizing the production layout and introducing a whole series of improvements.
In 2012 Gortani inaugurated the “Large plants” division, designed and organized to deal with demanding and ambitious orders, which meet the needs of companies of industrial dimensions.
Today, the position of the Carnic company has consolidated as a global market leader, so much so that the Gortani brand is present in cellars on five continents.
