Situated in Refrontolo (TV), in the middle of the prestigious Prosecco Superiore area of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, Colvendrà has recently celebrated the 100th anniversary since its foundation: in the early 1900s, Leonardo Della Colletta – also called “Bepi”- starting from the production of rootstock cuttings, selecting those capable of transmitting the best aromas and flavours, gave birth in 1924 to the wine and vineyard estate Colvendrà, today famous not only for its Prosecco Superiore but also for its Colli di Conegliano Rosso and “Refrontolo Passito”; our wines are deeply appreciated for their significant structure and personality.
The production is wide and varied, ranging from white and red still wines to Prosecco DOC and DOCG in various versions (semi-sparkling and sparkling in brut, extra dry, dry), to sparkling of indigenous grapes such as “Verdiso” and “Incrocio-Manzoni 6.0.13”, to sparkling rosè, to passito wines of Marzemino and Glera grapes, to the flagship red “Col de Ciso” fresh of winning the Grand Gold Medal at the global extreme-wine contest (as proof of these hills being historically capable of prestigious red wines, like the marzemino praised in Mozart’s “Don Giovanni”).
In this extraordinary land, the pedo-climatic conformation of the area, favours the optimal sun exposure of the vineyards, shielding them from the northern cold winds thanks to the backdrop of the Pre-Alps, which creates a beautiful landscape. The clayish soil grants the vineyard with harmonious growth and productivity, infusing it with complex elements.
The family tradition is now in the hands of the grandson Giuseppe and sons, who together run the business with the same passion and dedication in the vineyard as in the winery.
The respect for the environment and the preservation of the landscape remains a treasured legacy for Colvendrà, especially of values: even today the vineyards are harmoniously alternated with hedges and tiny woods, creating a unique natural setting of rare beauty.
