Agriloro

Meinrad C.Perler, founder of Agriloro SA has always had a strong bond with agriculture. Son of peasants, born and raised in the Canton of Friborg and moving to Ticino at the age of 25 to pursue a completely different type of profession, in 1981 he decided to acquire the "Tenimento dell'Ör", in the Municipality of Arzo, thus returning to his origins. The estate is very old and is already mentioned in eighteenth-century documents as one of the most important vineyards in the Mendrisiotto.In 2002 with the purchase of the "La Prella" estate in Genestrerio, a hamlet of Mendrisio. Both in the cultivation of the vines and in the vinification we try to operate as much as possible using natural and respectful methods. A large part of the production and almost all of the specialties are aged in barriques. In 1989 an aging cellar was also purchased in Mendrisio, created under the slopes of Monte Generoso
