We have in total 250 hectares dislocated in Veneto and Friuli region, we have more than 10 different variety of grapes, from Glera, all the family of pinot and some other that we need to offer different type of sparkling wine. We are one hour from the seaside and one hour from the Dolomites, this permit to have a perfect climate and soil for our vineyards. 

We have two wineries, one in the flat area, terroir full of stones, where we produce more DOC prosecco and pinot grigio, perfect for the minerality that you can taste in the wine, here we collect the grapes, we do the vinification, and we bottle the wine with 2 different bottling line, one for each size of the bottle (0,200lt and 0,750lt) 

One winery is on the top of the hill of Conegliano Veneto, where we have the wine shop, the accommodation and also collect and do the vinification of the DOCG prosecco superior, here the terroir is full of claim and calk, here the sun touches each grapes and gives a lot of fruity and aromatic notes to the grapes.

We are specializing in sparkling wine in Charmat method, long natural fermentation to give small and elegant bubbles is our quality standard. Out of respect for our tradition and love for our territory, we seek for research and technological innovations, in order to develop always positively. Tradition for us means that we keep the fruit vine in its organoleptic characteristics. The fruit should keep its pure aroma and the true taste; this is important to us. We realize that we need technology this is because then we can create the best product with the best characteristics. This technique makes it possible to not add chemical sulphites but only carefully selected yeast of the last 3 generations, so we can offer a natural product which is perfect in its complexity.
