Az. Ag. Eleva

Eleva is the story of a dream: that of a woman with a famous surname who wanted to prove she could create something new and excellent on her own, with her own strength and talent: Franca Maculan. A graduate in economics and co-founder of the national association Le Donne del Vino, a cultured and sensitive woman, one day while in Valpolicella she discovered the hill in La Palà, in Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella, and fell in love with the place. As a profound connoisseur of the world of wine, she sensed that great wines could be born there.

After purchasing the estate, she dedicated herself for years to renovating it and planting vineyards. Unfortunately, just as everything was ready to begin production, Franca discovered she was seriously ill. Realizing she would not live to see her dream come true, she decided that others would continue it, and with a bequest in her will, she left the property to a charitable organization. The winemaker Raffaella Veroli worked in this association. At university, she had studied under Davide Gaeta, an expert in marketing and business economics, and she involved him in the project. The association entrusted them with the realization of Franca's dream, a task Raffaella and Davide took so much to heart that they founded a farming company together: Eleva. Today, this company manages the estate and produces wines and olive oil that speak the language of this land, fully respecting Franca Maculan's dream: a dream of autonomy, but also of excellence.
