Piera Martellozzo has currently been running the business for<br />
twenty-five years.<br />
The company believes that the Covid-19 pandemic has encouraged<br />
companies to look for innovative and alternative solutions and has<br />
also opened up new markets and broadened tastes around the world.<br />

Piera 1899 during the pandemic. The excellence of the base wine<br />
attracted widespread interest. As wine shops and restaurants have<br />
reopened, its success has grown further, fuelled by its flavour and<br />
packaging, which is fundamental for this type of wine.<br />
DOC Prosecco Rosé Piera 1899 is a complex wine which, as a Brut<br />
Nature (zero dosage) undergoing lengthy fermentation (120 days),<br />
meets the tastes of even the most demanding palates.<br />

especially abroad. It also increases the sensory quality of the wines,<br />
adding greater structure, pleasant aromas and good persistence.<br />
These aspects are emphasised by the winery’s decision to use Pinot<br />
