CAJ Gran Cuvèe Brut Millesimato

Our passion for wine is the driving force behind Col dei Franchi. Born from the determination of two friends passionate about wine and Italian style, we combined special ingredients to create a one-of-a-kind Prosecco, both delicious inside and beautiful outside. Our attention to product quality is combined with meticulously crafted design, from the bottle to the label. CAJ and OROCHIARO are the expressions of our commitment, two brands that reflect different selections of grapes from the finest vineyards in Valdobbiadene. Col dei Franchi's approach to quality is completely different from traditional methods. The search for and selection of the finest grapes from the finest vineyards in Valdobbiadene, the collaboration with true vineyard artisans, lovers of the spectacular Prosecco hills, and the insights of our winemaker are what allow us to transcend the quality of our wines to the quality of our vineyards, but rather to always obtain the best for our wines and for our loyal customers. For this reason, we like to call ourselves "Grape Hunters."

Valdobbiadene and its vineyards are unique. Located 50 km from Venice and surrounded by the majestic Dolomites 100 km away, this hilly area offers enchanting scenery. The rolling hills stretch endlessly, adorned with a variety of shades of green, making this region one of the most evocative in Northern Italy. The topography of the land ensures a temperate climate year-round. The predominantly southern exposure, the steepness of the hills, and the constant presence of breezes mitigate the impact of summer showers on our vineyards. Viticulture in this region has ancient origins, but the first written mention linking Prosecco to Valdobbiadene dates back to 1772. Since the introduction of the Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC) in 1969, the historic production area has remained limited to 15 municipalities. Two of these give the area its name: Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, the cultural capital and the production heart, respectively. Our grapes, sourced from the finest vineyards in Valdobbiadene, combined with our collaboration with vineyard artisans who know every inch of the vineyard and apply traditional techniques passed down through generations, create exceptional wines. This synergy between nature and human expertise is what makes our wines unique.
