In the foothills to the East of the Euganean Hills, in the town of Due Carrare, the "La Mincana" farm has been owned by the Dal Martello family for three generations.
The vineyards surround the winery, consisting of a complex that includes a sixteenth century villa and an arcade, now seat of the wineries. The villa of the seventeenth century is owned by the noble Venetian Dolfin family that took it over by the Bondumier family, the holder in the sixteenth century. In the first half of the eighteenth century it was renovated in Palladian style, particularly evident in the Northern loggia and in the oratory built to the west side of the villa.
Towards the end of the eighteenth century Andrea Dolfin (then ambassador of the Venetian Republic in France) entrusted the architect Giannantonio Selva the building of a garden at the south of the orchard, one of the first of its kind in Italy. Of the garden a few traces remain, the fish pond and some centuries–old trees.
The farm has been owned by the Dal Martello family that since 1907 and covers an area of about 57 hectares, of which 18 are vineyards. The main activity is the production and sale of wine. A careful vineyard management, low yields per hectare, appropriate techniques and attention at various stages of the subsequent winemaking allow us to obtain a final product of quality.
