Bio diversity

Terroir

Our wines are born in the Breganze DOC district, an area that combines a number of favorable and unique geoclimatic factors for grape growing and wine production.

Biodiversity is certainly the hallmark of the area: morainic and volcanic hills that produce high-grade white wines and a plain with gravelly, draining soils that yields red wines of great character.

DOC Breganze

The territory of DOC Breganze, which lies between the Brenta and Astico rivers, was established in 1969. Famous for Vespaiola, the place’s identifying white grape variety, it has also experienced increasing recognition over the years for international grape varieties such as Cabernet, Merlot, and Pinot Noir.

Soils are of volcanic origin in the hilly area (tuff, basalt) and of alluvial origin in the valley bottoms and plains (gravel, pebbles, limestone).

Tradition thousands of years old

The Breganze DOC not only offers an ideal habitat for vines, but also boasts an ancient winemaking tradition, as evidenced by the drafting in Bassano del Grappa in 1295 of one of the world’s earliest known specifications for vineyard cultivation and winemaking.

A tradition that, thanks to the constant improvement of techniques and the far-sightedness of our winemakers, is now appreciated by connoisseurs all over the world.

Vespaiola

Vespaiola is a white grape variety indigenous to Breganze. The origin of the name comes from the fact that its typical sweetness in the ripening stage attracts Wasps, who go greedy for its must.

The wine made from this variety is called Vespaiolo: it is a dry white, characterized by marked acidity and flavor. Typical aromatic descriptors are hints of tropical fruit, lemon, white flowers, and balsamic.

Quality grapes

Our vineyards

Our vineyards, located in the hilly and foothill areas of Breganze, produce grapes of superior quality, capable of enhancing the territory and giving unique wines.

Maragnole of Breganze

Medium-textured soils with a good supply of organic matter and skeleton, ideal for the production of sparkling wine grapes, with a low sugar content, a marked acidity that ensures freshness, aging capacity and producing delicate aromas.

Sarcedo

Medium-textured soils tending to clay, with a good presence of skeleton that allows excellent water drainage. These are soils low in organic matter that allow contained but balanced vegetative and root development, resulting in flavorful and fragrant rosé grapes with good polyphenol endowment.

Lugo di Vicenza

A hilly terrain with ancient vineyard traditions, located at an altitude of 250 meters above sea level and a moraine terrain surrounded by forests and unspoiled nature. An estate with the ideal geo-climatic conditions for growing, in total synergy with the environment, chardonnay and pinot noir.
