La Futa/Valdobbiadene D.O.C.G.



There are places in the world that tell history; there are others that are recounted by the excellence they produce.



In the land of Valdobbiadene, Treviso, inside the old Rive di San Pietro, the prosecco winemaking is still an alchemical art that has been handed down from father to son, through the family stories and practices that have never changed.



The talent of these men is encased in a simple and surprising product, able to convince and excite at first taste: the selection of the grapes at the edges and the usage of natural yeasts ensure compliance with the natural method, giving Prosecco a soft and important taste characteristic of the hills of the owl.

The company is located in Solicchiata, on the slope of the valley north of Mount Etna. The philosophy of cultivation is based on the principle that man is incapable of understanding nature in its totality, its complexity and its interactions. As a consequence, this choice has led us to avoid, where possible, the movement of the soil and to abandon any treatment on raw materials nor added in the processed product. The cultivated area of our company is of approximately 14 hectares, of which 12 hectares are of bush vineyards and the remainder of olive, traditional fruit, almond trees and garden. Our wines and olive oils, of maximum expression and depth, are named MunJebel and Magma. These selected characteristic wines and oils come from soils of exceptional exposure and geology, between 650 and 1000 meters of altitude.

Piccinin Daniele Az. Agr.

My company covers 3.5 hectares in San Giovanni Ilarione in the province of Verona, at the foothills of the Lessinia area in the Alpone Valley (on the south–east side of Mount Cimo, between 300 and 500 meters above sea level). On a clay–limestone soil, I pursue the goal to recover a variety that is going lost, the Durella, a grape variety existing in the area for about a thousand years. In the vineyard I have chosen early to want to work in full respect of what is around me and of myself.

Legnani Stefano

Less than two kilos of copper pentahydrate and a little wettable sulfur are the treatments carried out per year. Self–produced green manure, compost and wood chips are the nourishment with whom I feed the land where they my ladies grow. Earthworms, bred on purpose, are my operators of the underground. I do not run any filtration nor fining. I pursue the goal of being able to make a good wine, elegant, mineral, with varietal scents specific of Vermentino through the respect of the soil and of my vines.

Vigna Sancol S.r.l. Cantine Valdobbiadene

Vigna Sancòl was founded in Guia di Valdobbiadene, in the heart of our beloved land, where for centuries our ancestors have cultivated a variety of grapes called Glera. Even today, this particular variety has unique features, is used for the production of the best quality sparkling wine using the Charmat method: Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G.


The winery was founded in 2005 from an idea by Cesare De Stefani, known in the area for the homonymous Salumificio De Stefani, which is located just a few meters from the winery, and for having founded the "Osteria Senza Oste" ("Inn Without Innkeeper"), an inevitable stop and very popular in the area among tourists and lovers of this wonderful land, located on the summit of Col Cartizze, where the grapes for the realization of our Superiore di Cartizze D.O.C.G. are grown.



Along with him, his partner Luigi Flisi, a close friend and colleague in the world of high–quality meat trade, decided to found Vigna Sancòl, a company focused not only on the production of a very high quality Prosecco, but especially, of a Valdobbiadene D.O.C.G. of absolute excellence.

Cesare De Stefani



Made from grapes from owned vineyards and exclusively harvested by hand, it guarantees to anyone who drinks it a homogeneous over time product, with one single goal: to improve year after year.




Harvest 2013




Over time, with hard work and the acquisition of new plots of land, the winery in 2013 reached a production of about 100,000 bottles per year, in each of which there are the same characteristics: pleasant on the palate and easy to drink at every time, before, during and after meals.


Prosecco Superiore of Vigna Sancòl is recognized for its delicate and refined bubbles, but especially for the typicality that is found in its flavors and scents that convey a maximum expression of the terroir from which it comes.

Among the rows, his two small children Francesco and Sergio played chase, breathing that atmosphere of healthy freedom, and while living in close contact with their father immediately assimilated the same passion for that job, tiring but full of satisfaction, which in time became the reason of life also of theirs.

The years went by in that rural serenity, the children grew up determined, passionate, prepared, and became an integral part of the territory, as the roots of the vines they grow, placed between 125 and 500 meters above sea level.

The experience of the Ronfini family consolidated in the founding of the company, that since 1996, with the help of the oenologist Mariano Pancot, began making wine and producing a generous Prosecco, with features of elegance and intense aromas, in various DOCG types, from a Millesimato of remarkable caliber to the brilliant Extra Dry, from the fruity Brut to the soft Rosé and others, all Valdobbiadene sparkling wines of balanced, fragrant, intense, floral, fresh and velvety flavors.

The Brancher company, always very attentive to winemaking techniques, boasts first class equipments, uses especially low temperatures, takes advantage of the skins’ contact and does not use sulfur dioxide in the early stages of processing, thus obtaining valuable products, made by the care of vineyards and grapes more and more customized, of distinct aromatic complexities, of true prestige, able to satisfy the palates of the most demanding gourmets.
