Hauner: The History since 1968 Carlo Hauner, Brescia native of Bohemian origin transplanted to the Aeolian Islands, was the creator of the agricultural company that bears his name. As a young man, he was a painter and, not yet twenty, exhibited at the Venice Biennale. In his mature years, he achieved significant success internationally as a designer. The passion for winemaking can be seen as the last challenge of an intense life filled with interests. He first arrived in the Aeolian Islands in 1963, when tourism was still in its timid beginnings. After several summer vacations (each year more extensive), in the 1970s he moved to Salina. Always restless and curious, he was attracted to the cultivation of Malvasia, the grape that local farmers harvest in mid-September and dry in the sun for a couple of weeks. According to traditional methods, during the day, the grapes are laid out in the open on racks and retrieved at sunset. Hauner thus learned local winemaking techniques and integrated them with studies of ancient and modern texts. When he decided that the knowledge acquired and his creativity could contribute to a wine that had once been famous as the “nectar of the gods”, he sought out plots of land that had been left uncultivated due to heavy emigration that had taken thousands of Aeolians to Australia and the Americas. He managed to gather about twenty hectares which he cleaned up, restored to the ancient terraces, and revived as vineyards. He introduced some innovations: he dried the grapes on the vine and experimented with cooling techniques during fermentation. Small revolutions that fascinated experts, starting with Veronelli, and that brought Hauner’s Malvasia to prestigious restaurant tables, first in Italy and then in France, the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and other countries. Hauner's new winery was established in the 1980s in Lingua, the charming district of Santa Marina Salina. The building, constructed in Aeolian style, is equipped with a modern refrigeration system and steel barrels alongside wooden ones for aging, with a total capacity of 1,200 hectoliters. The inauguration of the new winery coincided with the growing interest that the revived Malvasia generated among critics, journalists, television crews, oenologists, producers, and simple enthusiasts of fine wines. Visits to the winery and to “the character Carlo Hauner” are becoming increasingly frequent and contribute to spreading the fame of the Aeolian archipelago and the prestigious wine produced there throughout the world. It was during those years that the company added to Malvasia the Salina White, Salina Red (medium-alcohol table wines), and Antonello, a high-caliber product aged in barriques. After the passing of Carlo Hauner in February 1996, the company is energetically led by his son Carlo Junior, with the precious collaboration of his wife Cristina and their children Andrea and Michele. Currently, about 50,000 bottles of Malvasia are produced, divided into two versions, the natural and the passito. The company also produces capers, those tasty buds that the inventor of this glorious business first labeled as “Capperi di Salina”. In the labels, both of the capers and the wines, we find the shapes and colors that his creator loved so much: the Aeolian architecture, the colors of Salina's vegetation (defined as the Green Island by all tourist brochures), the reds and oranges of the moon and dawn, the black of the volcano, the blue of the sea. They are reproductions of his paintings. Purchase our Salina White Wine on our website www.emporiosicilia.it, delivered directly to your home with just a few clicks!
