100 YEARS OF ITALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL HISTORY

Miravalle 1926 was founded by Cesare Miravalle almost a century ago, exactly 98 years ago: 1926– 2024.

Our main feature has always been our great love for the territory and particularly for the vineyards of our Country – Italy– which combines great food and wines together with a heritage of art and culture of inestimable value. Therefore we have always focused our attention on the accurate selection of products from the main Italian regions, rather than just doing common activities in big quantity.

Miravalle 1926 operates and/or has operated in major countries and Markets around the world (Europe, Ukraine, Georgia, Russia, Malaysia, China, Japan, Vietnam, Australia, Canada, USA, Argentina, South Africa, Ghana).

SICILY AND PUGLIA IN TURIN

The activity grows when Cesare is the first to deliver some products from Sicily to Turin: Marsala, liqueur/ fortified wines and white wines. Then it is Puglia’s turn.

1935

PASSION FOR VERMOUTH

Besides the main activity, Cesare Miravalle starts new relationships with many Piedmontese wineries (at the very beginning there were about 40 producers) which had started producing Vermouth. It bloomed a real passion for this niche excellence of producers that will last over the years to come.

1945

BY TRAIN TO THE SOUTH

After the war, Cesare and his son Piero Miravalle (born April 16, 1927) began a long journey by train and by vessel to Sicily from Piedmont. As he continues his studies, Piero, who represents the second generation of the company, begins to gain experience in the field.

FROM FRANCE TO EUROPE

At the end of the 1960s at Miravalle 1926 the atmosphere becomes international thanks to the development of new business relationships out of Italy ,it is first with France then it soon spreads all over Europe (Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, etc.) both as a broker-agency and as trader with the imports&exports.

1979-2017

VERMOUTH OF TURIN

The consortium for the protection of the Italian Vermouth ( an aromatized and fortified white wine , flavoured with botanicals – roots, seeds, herbs, flowers and spices ) finds its natural meeting and discussion point right in Miravalle 1926. Thanks to the coordination of Piero Miravalle, who gathers around him small and large producers of the areas near Canelli and Torino, the focus remains on the Vermouth itself. Between 2004 and 2011 and most particularly from the years 2012 until 2017, it is given a burst of speed for the agreement of the production’s technical policy of Vermouth of Torino which is finally  granted in 2017 with the Italian and European recognition of PGI- “Protected Geographical Indication Vermouth di Torino“.

THE THIRD GENERATION

In the 1990s, the third generation of the family joins together alongside Father Piero– who is still supporting the activity nowadays with passion- giving much strength to the company and enhancing both Italian and international markets.
