The history of Contri Spumanti is closely linked to its founder: Luciano Contri, born in 1938 in Cazzano di Tramigna, a small village in the province of Verona At the age of fifteen, when Luciano was about to prepare for his oenology studies, his father Luigi fell seriously ill.

This forced the son early in the responsibility of the family business. However, during this time he also received a lot of support from his grandfather. Domenico and almost 90 years old passed on his experience and wisdom to his grandson. Together they managed to compensate for the loss of his father and successfully continue the company.

In 1959 he founded his own company, Luciano Contri, which in 1980 became Contri Spumanti S.p.A. and began producing sparkling and semi-sparkling wines. Today the management of the company is in the hands of Luciano's son, Paolo Contri. He continues the policy of his father.
