Let’s discover together the historic winery located in the symbolic municipality of Venegazzù di Volpago del Montello, in the heart of the Alta Marca Trevigiana, where the vineyards of the Conte Loredan Gasparini farm extend.
History
Azienda Agricola Conte Loredan Gasparini covers 60 hectares of vineyards in Venegazzù di Volpago del Montello, on the slopes of the homonymous riviera, in the heart of the Alta Marca Trevigiana. It is an area historically suited to the production of fine wines. In 1590 the historian Bonifacio wove his praises in his “Historia Trevigiana”. It is a territory rich in clay soils rich in iron and mineral components. After the Second World War when, at the end of the 40s, Count Piero Loredan sensed that something extraordinary was possible in the Venegazzù area: a wine of the highest quality. Thus in 1951 the first “Rosso di Venegazzù” was born.
Territory
The Alta Marca Trevigiana is the hilly area of the province of Treviso. This is an elliptical hill relief about 13 km long and 5 km wide. It consists of red soil covering conglomerates of calcareous pebbles, porphyry and granite mixed with clay, all debris from the Piave river and the leaching of the Alps. The total area of the Montello is about 6,000 hectares divided into five municipalities.
Prodotti
The flagships of the Azienda Agricola Loredan Gasparini are its two cuts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Over time they have become real symbols of international enology. The company’s flagship wine, the famous “Head of State”, has been included in a French publication entitled “100 Vins de Légende” as one of the 100 wines in the world that, for their history and their value, they could be unanimously considered as legendary. Prosecco Superiore is also excellent, coming from the vineyards of the ASOLO DOCG area, of particular structure and flavor.
