Candoni Family
The Candoni De Zan family has a rich wine-making history that began over 150 years ago.
The tradition continues with Armando De Zan and Elviana Candoni, who both share a passion for wine and a tenacious belief in working exclusively for quality. Armando and Elviana's daughters, Barbara and Caterina, have inherited their parent's passions and have now entered the family business.
The whole family is deeply involved in the arts. In fact, the widely respected and international acclaimed "Candoni Award," is named after Elviana's father and prolific playwright, Luigi Candoni (1921-1974). Together with their parents, Barbara and Caterina are instrumental in continuing their family's wine-making traditions and making Candoni wines a success.
Armando has carried on his family's wine-making traditions and has passed along his own passion for wine-making to his own family. In 2000, Armando and his wife Elviana founded Arel Group Wine & Spirits, Inc. with the vision of exclusively importing their family wines.
Elviana also has family roots in the wine-making business. She has always shared Armando's passion for wine and has continuously supported his projects. Alongside Armando, she is the heart and soul of the company. Elviana is the president of Candoni, mainly working with the management aspects of the company.
