(CONEGLIANO) For three generations the Dal Bianco family has been engaged in the production of quality sparkling wines and prosecco in Conegliano in Veneto, a territory that was declared a UNESCO heritage site in 2019.
The history of Masottina wines
‘Strengthened by a family identification’, this simple phrase unfolds in the history of the Masottina winery in Conegliano in Veneto, which from three gelations, exactly since 1946, has dedicated itself to the cultivation of wine in one of the most suitable areas of Italy. Much has been said and more written about the Conegliano hills, but it is no coincidence that their excellence continues to be described.
The land is a gift and the wine decides where to express itself at its best, and the Dal Bianco family has treasured this gift, from the vineyard to the cellar, with dedication and foresight, producing wines that reflect the territory and the centuries-old tradition that Distinguishes.
Terroir of Masottina wines
The hills of this area, characterized by the landscape that leaves you breathless, we are in fact on the side of the Treviso foothills, which from the Piave goes up the sinuous slopes to stop and become the pre-Alps, hills that have been recognized in 2019 UNESCO heritage, which have a they favor a microclimate and a soil that lends itself to the highest expression for viticulture.
The hilly altitudes are variable and the soils are moraine-alluvial with glacial deposits and a high amount of dissolved skeleton and with a good presence of limestone. Ideal conditions for giving life to wines characterized by great flavor and freshness.
It was the attention to detail, the protection of the territory, the technological investments and the utmost professionalism in the various skills that formed the basis of the philosophy of this family for the production of commendable wines.
The philosophy of Masottina wines
A company that carries on a viticulture strongly linked to the history of Prosecco, which saw its denomination recognized in 1969. But the success of this incredible wine never ends, so much so that in 2009 it saw the birth of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg.
The range offered by the Dal Bianco family is well conceived and very broad and immediately shows how this company has been able to exploit every nuance of its vineyards. In the cellar located in Ogliano, where grapes, monitored since the vineyards, are brought and treated with the utmost respect and where modern equipment and practiced enology are put at their service, they create that line that differs in different labels.
The Wines of Masottina
Masottina wines include a wide range of wines ranging from prestigious Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG wines, but also still red and white wines. Under the Ai Palazzi brand, still red and white wines are born, elegant expressions of the territory such as Montesco and Rizzardo, both obtained from the combination of selected native vines and international grapes, aged in barrique.
But the real jewels of Prosecco di Masottina wines are the fresh and mineral Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rive di Ogliano R.D.O. Brut ‘e’ Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rive di Ogliano R.D.O. Extra Dry ‘. The abbreviation RDO present on the wines, which indicates ‘Rive di Ogliano’, is a prestigious additional geographical mention that identifies the wines produced from the most sloping vineyards of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene district, which thanks to the greater temperature ranges and greater exposure favor great richness on the palate and scents of unusual eloquence and elegance.
Also to be taken into consideration is the more immediate and floral Prosecco DOC Extra Brut, which embellishes the classic character of Prosecco with captivating aromatic tones conferred by a percentage of Chardonnay.
