We have always lived in our district. It is here that we were born; here we have grown up, along with our children, with our communities, with our wine.

Once upon a time there was a young Czech artist and illustrator with an exuberant and tumultuous soul. He was living in a splendid city, Prague, filled with intellectual and cultural stimulus but at the time – the 1950s – short on freedom. So, in 1959, fed up with the rules and restrictions, while working […]

The radicèle Among the many wild plants that can be found in the fields and meadows of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene area, dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is definitely one of the most common.

by Marina Grasso \ pictures by Francisco Marques You could use the French, “sur lie” (“on the lees”) to describe it, or a more modern expression would be “re-fermented in the bottle.” But in the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Docg, it is traditionally known as “vin col fondo” (“wine with sediment”), where “sediment” stands for […]

Precious sentinels of time. But also authentic masterpieces of scientific archeology, which combine tradition, art and modernity.

They are also very precise, […]

If Prosecco Superiore has become a model to be emulated in the winemaking world, then surely much of the credit must go to the close ties this wine has with its territory. One of the closer and most fruitful of these is that with the world of research and innovation. On July 9th 1876, just […]
