Le Colline del Prosecco di Conegliano and Valdobbiadene

Located in the north-east of Italy, the property includes part of the winegrowing landscape of the Prosecco wineproduction area. The landscape is characterized by ‘hogback’ hills, also named ciglioni. Small plots of vines on narrow grassy terraces. Forests, small villages and farmland since the 17th century. The use of ciglioni has created a very particular chequerboard landscape that consists of rows of vines parallel and vertical to the slopes. In the 19th century the bellussera technique of training the vines contributed to the aesthetic characteristics of the landscape.

IWSC Awards for Masottina

(International Wine and Spirit Competition)

The story of Masottina is written in the Prosecco hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in 2019 listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site and established as one of the 56 most beautiful places in Italy and one of the 1121 most spectacular places in the world.

Rive di Ogliano

R.D.O. (Rive di Ogliano) is the epitome of Masottina’s wine production. Adriano and his brothers were pioneers in discovering Ogliano, believing in this unique terroir in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills, long before its prestige was acknowledged in 2009 with the introduction of the Rive indication.

IWSC Awards for Masottina:

Contrada Granda

Contrada Granda is dedicated to the ancient Contrada Granda, the name of the historic centre of Conegliano. The same history and tradition is found in blending the wines that unite the different spirits of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills to perfectly harmonise the complexity and aromatic intensity of fruit typical of Ogliano, the floral hints of Solighetto and the pronounced acidity of Rolle.

Ogliano

In 2009, when Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore was elevated to DOCG, a new indication was introduced – ‘Rive’, which identifies on the label the municipality or hamlet where the grapes are grown.
Masottina’s ‘Rive’ wines represent the essence of the territory, they are produced with hand-picked grapes exclusively from a single locality. Ogliano is one of the 43 rive where Terre di Ogliano and the Dal Bianco family cultivate almost 20% of the entire vine planted area.

Unesco World Heritage Site:

Nowadays Masottina wines hail from almost 300 hectares of vineyards that extend along the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This vine-covered area has been built up over time with carefully selected vines grown by the family to the integrated Crop Management National Quality System (SQNPI) of organic practices.

However, it is in the Ogliano hills that Masottina expresses its production and quality philosophy with crus from a unique terroir: R.D.O. Ponente and R.D.O. Levante
