Our philosophy is simple and authentic, like the land we work. Our mission is driven by a passion rooted in tradition, in intimate knowledge of the raw material and in deep respect for the territory. We believe in the synergy between man and nature, in respecting seasonal cycles and in the importance of preserving the quality of our grapes from the vineyard to the bottle. Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of our company. At every stage of production, from cultivation to winemaking, we are committed to optimizing processes to minimize environmental impact, saving energy and resources. Every gesture, every choice reflects our dedication to sustainable development that safeguards the territory and respects its biodiversity. Our vineyards are located in the heart of Asolo DOCG , on steep hills where the soil, predominantly clayey and rich in calcareous marl, gives our wines a unique structure. The roots of our vines cling to a land rich in history, with a contrast between the hardness of the rock and the fragility of the clay that is reflected in the depth and elegance of our wines.
The care we put into the vineyard is meticulous: "we reduce the use of machinery and pesticides to a minimum, preferring manual work that respects the balance of the soil and favors the presence of wild microfauna".
The harvest is completely manual, ensuring that each bunch arrives in the cellar intact, ready for a delicate pressing that preserves the purity of the must. Thanks to advanced technologies, such as our carbon dioxide management system during fermentation, we are able to reduce the use of sulphites , maintaining high quality standards and certifying this commitment in our bottles. Even the marc is not wasted: we transform it into compost to nourish the vineyards, in a virtuous cycle that respects nature. Our grapes, in particular the Glera, find their ideal habitat here. The hills of Asolo, with their unique microclimate, are perfect for the production of Prosecco Asolo DOCG, a wine that embodies the tradition and typicality of this land. The native varieties, such as Bianchetta, Perera and Verdiso, further enrich our offer, expressing the diversity and richness of our territory. Manzoni Bianco, born from the studies of Professor Luigi Manzoni, is another grape variety that we grow with pride. Thanks to its versatility, it allows us to produce wines with unique aromatic and gustatory characteristics, capable of surprising even the most demanding palates. Behind every bottle of wine there is us, a family that has worked these lands with love and dedication for three generations, passing down knowledge that has its roots in the past but looks with determination to the future. Our wines are the most authentic expression of this commitment, and each one tells a unique story, closely linked to the terroir and the vines that we grow.
Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG
Born from our vineyards located on the high hills, Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG is a pure expression of the typicality of our territory. The clayey soil and the strong temperature range between day and night give this wine a marked minerality and a fascinating aromatic range. On the palate it stands out for its freshness and flavor, with a fine and persistent perlage that enhances every sip. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with fish dishes, this wine represents the elegance and refinement of the Asolo hills.
Manzoni White
Manzoni Bianco is a rare and prized wine, the result of a cross between Rhine Riesling and Pinot Bianco, created by Professor Luigi Manzoni. This vine has found in our hills a perfect environment to best express its extraordinary aromatic characteristics. In the high hills, Manzoni Bianco gives a wine with an intense olfactory profile, with floral and fruity notes, and a harmonious, fresh and savoury body. Two of its most representative expressions are Costalunga and Sogno Dosaggio Zero.
Costalunga is an elegant and refined wine, produced exclusively from grapes from the vineyard of the same name. It is characterized by a bright yellow color, a complex bouquet of white flowers and yellow-fleshed fruits, and a full and persistent taste. Thanks to its freshness and aromatic richness, Costalunga is a wine that can age well, maintaining its integrity and complexity over time.
Sogno Dosaggio Zero , on the other hand, is a surprising classic method, obtained from Manzoni Bianco and aged on the lees for at least 48 months. This sparkling wine is an original expression of the grape variety, with a very fine and creamy perlage, a lively acid attack and an intense minerality. In the mouth you can perceive hints of almond, bread crust, grapefruit and peach, making it perfect for bold gastronomic pairings such as grilled shellfish, beef tartare or veal with tuna sauce.
Our Cirotto winery, although small in size, stands out for its great attention to quality and its strong connection with the territory. Each wine we produce is the result of years of study, passion and experimentation, and is designed to offer a unique sensory experience, which celebrates the beauty of the Asolo hills and the richness of its native vines.
