The Pozzobon brothers produce around 70,000 bottles from their vineyards, worked by the family from the 1700s. Since purchasing the land outright from the Venetian state - or ‘from under the watchful eye of the Lion of Saint Mark’ as they put it - they have developed a highly respected range of red, white and sparkling wines.
When, in the 1980s, "organic" was not yet a magic word, the Pozzobon brothers decided to throw calendars on certain dates and learn to listen only to the needs of their plants. They were among the very first in the area to drastically reduce the use of chemicals in the vineyard. The long journey they took with great commitment and conviction towards the conversion to organic was crowned in 2012 by obtaining organic certification.

Cultivated the vines in the Montello hills, which boosts the low production of bunches per plant. Grape variety: from our own vineyards – 70% Merlot 30% Carmenère. Grape harvest: hand picked into wooden boxes in the first 10 days of October.
Wine making technique: red-wine vinification with maceration of 12-15 days at an approximate temperature of 25°C / 77°F to favour the breakup of the colouring substances contained in the grape skins. The maceration allows for the production of a well-structured and balanced product. It is then aged for another 12-18 months in large barrels (25 hl).
