Masiero

Established in 2000 on the hills around Trissino. At an altitude of around 400 m, a natural amphitheater facing south-east embraces the vines. On this earth of volcanic origin, Merlot and Pinot nero grapes are grown following a modern biodynamic technique. This idea originates from the desire to respect the natural environment, avoiding any possible chemical intervention that could alter the peculiarity of the microclimate or destroy the vitality of the soil.

In 2014, a project to recover old vines of Garganega, Pinot grigio, Tai, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Franc started in the countryside around Sant’Urbano di Montecchio Maggiore.
