Fattoria AL FIORE
ファットリア アル フィオーレ
Miyagi, Kawasaki, Japan
Founded by Hirotaka and Reina Meguro, Fattoria AL FIORE is a natural winery at the foot of the Zao Mountains in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture. The name combines "Fattoria" (Italian for farm) with "AL FIORE" (meaning "a flower"), inherited from the Italian restaurant Meguro opened in Sendai in 2005. In 2014, the couple began planting grapevines on abandoned farmland in the Hasekura district, housed in the converted gymnasium of the former Hasekura Elementary School since 2018. They operate two wine lines: the flagship Fattoria AL FIORE series from estate-grown grapes, and the NECO series (named after their resident cats) made from purchased grapes sourced across Tohoku.
