Donato Lanati

Coming Up

Donato Lanati began this chapter of his career in 2020, stepping into Cellagrande as a consulting winemaker and wine expert. In a field where timing, judgment, and restraint matter as much as technical knowledge, his presence brought quiet authority from the outset. At Cellagrande in Viverone, Italy, his work has been closely tied to the patient rhythms of the vineyard and cellar, giving shape to the estate’s identity without ever losing sight of what the land can realistically yield. It is a profile marked less by display than by discernment, and that sense of precision has remained central to his role.

Where They Are Now

Today, Donato Lanati is identified with Cellagrande as a wine expert, and the connection places his name beside a very specific corner of Italian wine: Viverone, Italy. The association suggests a career grounded in place, in the details of site and season, and in the kind of attention that only deep familiarity can provide. His own words capture that outlook with unusual clarity, keeping the scale intimate and the focus firmly on the vineyard itself.

Signature

Donato’s signature wines trace a line through distinct styles and expressions: Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, Carema DOC, Kakhetian Noble, and Brut Rosé Edoardo Miroglio. Together, they sketch a portfolio that reads with range and purpose, each name carrying its own character while still reflecting the discipline behind them. For Donato Lanati, these wines are part of a larger language of craft, one in which vineyard decisions and winemaking choices meet in the glass.

In Their Words “La nostra viticoltura è fatta di vigneti, non di territori immensi.” The quote distills Donato Lanati’s approach into a single, memorable line. It is a philosophy of scale and attention, one that values the particular over the expansive and the carefully tended over the generalized. In its rhythm, the sentence feels both practical and poetic, a reminder that wine is often made most convincingly when it stays close to the ground from which it comes.

Honors

Donato’s honors include Oscar of Success. The recognition sits comfortably within a profile defined by expertise and measured confidence, a nod to the reputation he has built through his work. In the context of Cellagrande and his wider identity as a wine expert, it adds another note to a career shaped by precision, restraint, and a clear sense of purpose.
