Our Roots

In the early '30s

The desire to create a family and the hope of improving their living conditions brought grandfather Annibale Donà to Mogliano Veneto. Here he decided to start building the farmhouse that over time would become a reference point, not only for his family, but also for the surrounding community. In fact, even in its simplicity, it often hosted people outside the family, in a spirit of welcome, perhaps for many, now distant.

From the 1950s to the 1980s.

With the courage that distinguished him he decided, with the help also of the economic boom of the 1950s to expand the arable land and to instil in his daily work the love for nature, for animals and for the territory.

This message was received and continued above all by Annibale’s son, Narciso, who took care of the company starting from the 1980s, channelling most of the resources into wine production.

"The past is like a lamp
placed at the entrance of the future"
Félicité Robert de Lamennais

Simplicity.
Generosity.
Territoriality.

Here are the 3 cardinal points that since 2010 Federico (son of Narciso) intends to seize from the past, so that they may shine light on future choices, expanding the vineyards, using the most modern cultivation techniques of integrated pest control, and once again realizing the passion of one’s own family.

Thus, the Donai logo was born, with a contemporary style that looks to the future, but in which the Narcissus flower encourages us to remember the teachings of a figure that is fundamental for us.
