TERRITORY OF ORIGIN

TERROR

We are in the Colli Berici area, in the province of Vicenza, where man has always cultivated vines and olive trees. The position and shape of the territory have favored the construction of wonderful rural architecture set among the hills, such as water mills, castles and hermitages, many of which are still visible today.
Alongside these is a vast heritage of Venetian villas, which reaches its highest expression in the architecture of Andrea Palladio. Among these hills there is also a splendid lake, the Fimòn, where ancient stilt houses have been found. And the first presences in the vineyard are of the same age, as demonstrated by the numerous remains of grape seeds found. Here the limestone rock, the red clay soils and the basaltic ones of volcanic origin , the altitude that keeps away the fog and the reduced annual rainfall create an optimal environment suited to viticulture. Here the vines grown are Tai, Carmenère, Garganega, Chardonnay and other international vines.

CELLAR

We are on the Berici Hills, in the village of Alonte in the province of Vicenza, in the greenery of dense spontaneous oak and beech woods. The roots of the vines dig deep into the stony earth, finding nourishment in what, 50 million years ago, was the bottom of a sea. Today the soil gives its fruits an intense and pleasant flavor and minerality . The 30 hectares of vineyards are 150 meters above sea level and enjoy a warm and dry microclimate. Starting from grandparents Bruno and Giuditta, who fell in love with these mountains and planted the first vines "among the stones", the passion for wine has involved the whole family, who for 20 years has specialized in the production of Classic Method sparkling wines, from Chardonnay and Garganega: the first in the Berici Hills.
The cuvées of their sparkling wines, all vintage, are the work of a skilful assembly. No synthetic chemicals are used: the work in the vineyard is meticulous. In the cellar dug into the rock, the bottles are then stacked by hand for the second fermentation and aging on the yeasts for at least 36 months, up to 70.
