POZZOBON

Commendator Pozzobon Rosalio The Pozzobon farm and winery originated around 1700 as a settlement of farmers directly dependent on the noble Caotorta family on the Paolini estate in the countryside of Volpago del Montello, in the Belvedere area. This company has always grown vines to supply wine to the same noble family. In 1969, Countess Matilde Ponti, heiress of the noble Antifone Caotorta family, sold a significant portion of the Paolini estate to the current commendator Pozzobon, who has been producing and selling his own wines ever since. To protect consumer health and preserve the environment, integrated crop protection is applied, with technical guidance from Cecat in Castelfranco Veneto. The title “Commendatore dell’Ordine al Merito” The love of wine and dedication to work are undoubtedly one of the Pozzobon family’s secrets for creating outstanding wines. In recognition of the quality and prestige of their craftsmanship, Mr. Pozzobon Rosalio was honored in 1993 with the title of Knight, in 1996 with the title of Officer and finally in 2004 with the title of Commander of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. Montello, Vines of High Quality On the clayey hills of Montello, the climate is dry in summer and cold in winter. The steep slopes (the vineyards are well situated and located on hilly or semi-hilly terrain) and the unique composition of the soil allow the vine to be one of the few crops that can survive in this environment. Under these climatic and environmental conditions, the vine produces limited but high-quality yields, which are maintained throughout the growing season by various arboricultural practices. These practices include summer cluster thinning, inter-row overgrowth and severe winter pruning.
