Chi sono, cosa fanno.
Carlo Hauner, of mixed background from Brescia who transplanted himself to the Aeolian islands, was the creator of the agricultural firm that carries his name. In 1963, he arrived in the Aeolian Islands for the first time. After several summer vacations, which became more and more extended in the seventies, Hauner transferred to Salina. He became attracted to the cultivation of Malvasia and learned the local winemaking techniques, integrating them with the study of modern and ancient standards. He searched for plots of land which had remained uncultivated due to emigration and succeeded in putting together twenty hectares which he renovates, restoring the ancient terraces and reviving them as vineyards. He introduced innovations such as withering the grape on the vine and experimenting with cooling techniques during fermentation. Hauner's new winery springs up in the eighties in Lingua, a suburb of Santa Marina Salina.
