The Rosso Veneto IGT AliCea from the La Caneva dei Biasio winery represents a red wine of great importance, obtained from grapes grown in the areas most suited to red wines in the Veneto region.
The result of a careful selection of the best vineyard parcels, this wine offers an authentic expression of the territory and the local winemaking tradition. Bordeaux blend produced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, selected to ensure complexity and structure. The grapes are left to dry in the vineyard by cutting the shoot, allowing a natural concentration of sugars and greater aromatic complexity. The harvest is late, to ensure complete ripening of the grapes. Rosso Veneto IGT AliCea has a ruby red colour which, with ageing, can turn to intense garnet with purple reflections.

The taste is dry, balanced tannic, soft and full-bodied. Supported by pleasant acidity and tertiary hints of aging in oak barrels, which vary from vanilla to blond tobacco. It concludes with a harmonious and satisfying finish, inviting another sip. Ideal with grilled meats, braised meats and medium-long aged cheeses. The combination with game is interesting. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of around 16-18°C to best enhance its organoleptic characteristics. Rosso Veneto IGT AliCea can be stored in the cellar for several years, improving with time. It is recommended to store it in a cool, dark place free from sudden changes in temperature, preferably in a horizontal position to keep the cork moist and preserve the freshness of the wine.

The Pedemontana Veneta is a charming and welcoming landscape located between the provinces of Treviso and Vicenza, in the Veneto region. This area combines landscape, culture, and development prospects in a unique setting. A new highway runs through the Pedemontana Veneta, a major infrastructure linking 36 municipalities between Vicenza and Treviso, improving mobility and reducing traffic in residential areas. The Pedemontana Veneta is characterized by the presence of 97 Venetian Villas, architectural masterpieces located no more than 2 km from the highway.

These villas are among the 1,769 in the foothills and 3,828 scattered throughout the region. The region is also renowned for its rich food and wine heritage, with 153 specialty products within a 5 km radius of the highway. Among these, 9 DOP products, 5 IGP products, 4 DOCG wines, 8 DOC, 4 IGT wines, 119 traditional agri-food products, and 4 Slow Food Presidia stand out. The Pedemontana Veneta offers a wide range of high-quality wines, cheeses, vegetables, cured meats, and delicacies, including, to name a few, Asiago DOP cheese, grappa and fruit distillates, Sopressa DOP, extra virgin olive oil, and Prosecco DOCG di Valdobbiadene and Asolo.

In addition to the aforementioned Prosecco, appreciated and exported worldwide, in recent years, native grape varieties that had been forgotten have been re-evaluated, including Recantina and Rabbiosa dei Colli Asolani (Pat del Colmel). In short, the Pedemontana Veneta is an unmissable tourist destination for lovers of culture, architecture, and food and wine. Thanks to the highway, visitors can easily explore the region's beauties, discover the Venetian Villas, and savor the many local delicacies. The typical products of the Pedemontana Veneta, which encompasses hilly and mountainous areas, reflect the richness and identity of a vast land with ancient agricultural and pastoral traditions.

Welcome to the heart of Cendrole, a village rich in ancient history nestled between Castelfranco Veneto, Bassano del Grappa and Asolo. Our story begins over a century ago, during the fervor of the twentieth century. Giovanni Angelo Porcellato, the great-grandfather of the current owners, a veteran of the Great War, decided to create something extraordinary: Caneva.

The founder obtained the licenses to transform the place into a tavern along the Curiotto road, a famous path that leads to the Sanctuary also frequented by the future Pope Pius X. With the famous sign "Da Ioani el soto ghe xe sempre un bon goto" (at Giovanni the lame, there is always a good glass), Caneva became an icon over time. In the 1940s, his son Giovanni took over the reins, managing the tavern with mastery together with his mother Luigia (Nona Jija). While his father lit the oven for bread, his wife Amelia ran a small grocery store. The passion for wine, in particular Prosecco dei Colli di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene, began to make itself felt.

Today we proudly preserve a bottle of Cartizze from 1952, one of the first bottled by the winery “La Caneva dei Biasio” (Biasio is the nickname that identifies the genealogical branch of the Porcellato family). Every sip will take you back in time, with the rich taste of history and culture of Cendrole. The cellar, founded in the 1960s, houses large barrels that guard the fruit of generations of winemaking passion.

Here, we produce excellent wines such as Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG, a symbol of the ancient winemaking tradition of this land. The quality of the Manzoni crianza, cultivated with dedication and mastery, is reflected in our glasses, carrying on the family's winemaking legacy.

In the 1970s, the sons took over, transforming La Caneva into a modern winery. Our production expanded to the red Veneto IGT, a wine that embodies the balance between tradition and innovation, representing the unique character of Cendrole. In the 1990s, the Osteria became "Osteria La Caneva", a fundamental stop for those who want to savor the rich culinary tradition of Treviso and accompany the dishes with our fine wines. Today, our history is manifested in the tasting room and in the wine shop, spaces dedicated to events and tastings that allow you to immerse yourself in the wine experience of Cendrole.

We invite you to taste the past and present enclosed in each glass, which can be enriched by the choice between Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG, Incrocio Manzoni and the red Veneto IGT. Each glass of our wines is an invitation to toast together to the history that binds us to this land, a history that has become an integral part of our passion and dedication to viticulture and hospitality. With each sip, you will immerse yourself not only in the taste of our wine, but also in the soul of Cendrole. Welcome to a story that is the most beautiful in the world, and perhaps it really is.
