MIONETTO
THE VENETO, ITALY
Few lands identify themselves like Valdobbiadene so totally and directly with a
completely special "drinking philosophy". Try, for example, tasting a glass of
Prosecco - the most renowned "offspring" of these hills. You will feel that you have
been projected into a world which you believed lost forever, where life still proceeds
at a liveable pace and where values remain unchanged: equilibrium and
lightness, elegance and genuineness, delight in getting together and enjoying life.
From Prosecco to Cartizze and many other straightforward, generous wines -
the fascinating history of the vines and wines of Valdobbiadene has trodden a long
path, but it has always been true to itself. You only need to travel along the
Prosecco Road - the first enological route to have been created in Italy - to be
aware of it all. In these places, the savours, nature, everything is still authentic
and incomparable. It is in this land and with this singular tradition that an equally
unique entrepreneurial story has become associated: that of the Mionetto family.
