Tombacco
View winesBefore there was a winery, there was land—and a family decision to build a life around it. Tombacco’s story begins with Giovanni Battista Tombacco, who created a first farm producing peaches, then changed course in 1919, convinced the territory could turn old vines into wine worth making, even in difficult times.
From there it becomes a generational build: step by step, the family expanded and professionalized the work. In the 1960s, Bruno Tombacco enlarged the cellar and created logistics warehouses in Venice, Mestre, and Jesolo; in 1972 his brother Adriano joined the path; and today the winery describes the continuity as carried forward by Giuliano and the third generation.
They also call out a decisive modern shift in 2005, when the third generation renewed direction toward qualitative growth and sustainable development, and in 2007 launched 47 Anno Domini as a brand intended to bridge family tradition with a contemporary, future-facing approach.
Location
The company is based in Trebaseleghe (Padova), Veneto, a plain-and-hinterland crossroads that naturally connects agricultural production with distribution routes across the north.
That same “vineyard-to-market” logic shows up in their history through the creation of logistics hubs along the Venetian coast and mainland, built to support scale without abandoning the farming identity at the core.
Winemaking & Philosophy
Tombacco describes its working model as a balance: a production system “managed as it once was,” paired with constant technical improvement—and a deliberate choice to stay human-scale, with about 30 employees and an emphasis on detail.
The sustainability path is not treated as a slogan but as a set of verifiable commitments. The winery highlights organic certification (supervised by Valoritalia), vegan certification (via The Vegan Society, enabled by plant/mineral clarifying choices), and food-safety standards BRC and IFS.
On top of that, they present Equalitas as the framework guiding environmental, economic, and social sustainability—supported by their published sustainability reporting and ongoing energy-measurement and photovoltaic expansion work.
