Winery Profile
- Giancarlo Palla and his sons are vine growers and custodians of the history of the Venegazzù di Volpago del Montello zone, a natural oasis 50 km from Venice, a city that has always had a special relationship with the Treviso hills. This area has been historically devoted to the production of fine wines since back in 1590.
- The winery was founded around 1950 by Count Piero Loredan, a direct heir of the Doge of Venice Leonardo Loredan, who established his residence in a gorgeous Palladian villa.
- The founder decided to grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec according to his philosophy of respecting and enhancing the bond between varietals and territory. Now they produce also sparkling wines (Metodo Classico, and Prosecco)
