After seven years of research and reflection, a wine has been created that captures the character and emotion of its unique terroir. Temperature variations, the calcareous soil, and the vine's deep roots impart minerality and flavor. In the cellar, attention and respect for the grapes preserve their integrity, resulting in fine, elegant, and creamy bubbles. Aging on the lees further enriches the wine, making it "simply complex." The Eocene is a geological epoch in which the great mountain ranges of today were formed, and consequently our precious compact clay and limestone soils.
Eocene means "new dawn" and is in fact seen as the protagonist of significant climate changes, a theme as ancient as it is current.

Specifically, our current hilly environment was once a reef with a significant presence of coralline algae and shark teeth, typical of a coastal marine environment with shallow waters, high temperatures, and clear waters. We meticulously cultivate our vineyards: we minimize the use of machinery and pesticides, preferring manual work that respects the soil's balance and encourages the presence of wild microfauna. In the cellar, once the grapes have been pressed, all the pomace is recovered and transformed into compost, which will become a beneficial organic biofertilizer for our vineyards. Harvesting is completely manual, ensuring that each bunch arrives at the cellar intact, ready for gentle pressing that preserves the purity of the must.

A gorgeous pale straw color with pearly highlights, small, persistent bubbles rise from the glass. Intense aromas of pear and apple blend with mineral and iodine notes.
The natural roundness is provided by the presence of refermentation yeasts, which naturally settle to the bottom of the bottle. Extremely elegant and balanced. The palate is delicate and enveloping, highlighted by its balance, accompanied by fruity highlights. In the glass, it unfolds, offering sweet floral and mineral notes. The meticulous attention to the entire production process has allowed us to keep sulfites below the limits set by the organic wine production regulations.

The Producer

Our philosophy is simple and authentic, like the land we work. Our mission is driven by a passion rooted in tradition, an intimate knowledge of the raw material, and a profound respect for the land. We believe in the synergy between man and nature, in respecting seasonal cycles, and in the importance of preserving the quality of our grapes from vineyard to bottle. Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of our company. At every stage of production, from cultivation to winemaking, we are committed to optimizing processes to minimize environmental impact, conserving energy and resources. Every gesture, every choice reflects our dedication to sustainable development that safeguards the land and respects its biodiversity. Our vineyards are located in the heart of the Asolo DOCG, on steep hills where the soil, predominantly clay and rich in calcareous marl, gives our wines a unique structure. The roots of our vines cling to a land rich in history, with a contrast between the hardness of the rock and the fragility of the clay that is reflected in the depth and elegance of our wines. The care we take in the vineyard is meticulous: "We minimize the use of machinery and pesticides, preferring manual work that respects the soil's balance and encourages the presence of wild microfauna." Harvesting is entirely manual, ensuring that each bunch arrives at the cellar intact, ready for gentle pressing that preserves the purity of the must.

Thanks to advanced technologies, such as our carbon dioxide management system during fermentation, we are able to reduce the use of sulfites, maintaining high quality standards and certifying this commitment in our bottles. Even the pomace is not wasted: we transform it into compost to nourish the vineyards, in a virtuous cycle that respects nature. Our grapes, particularly the Glera, find their ideal habitat here. The Asolo hills, with their unique microclimate, are perfect for the production of Prosecco Asolo DOCG, a wine that embodies the tradition and uniqueness of this land. Native varieties, such as Bianchetta, Perera, and Verdiso, further enrich our offering, expressing the diversity and richness of our terroir. Manzoni Bianco, born from the studies of Professor Luigi Manzoni, is another grape variety we proudly cultivate. Thanks to its versatility, it allows us to produce wines with unique aromatic and flavor characteristics, capable of surprising even the most discerning palates. Behind every bottle of wine is us, a family that has worked these lands with love and dedication for three generations, passing down knowledge rooted in the past but firmly focused on the future. Our wines are the most authentic expression of this commitment, and each one tells a unique story, closely tied to the terroir and the grape varieties we cultivate.
