There are people capable of listening to the whispers of nature, observing and understanding the essence of places that have become their homes in the name of a respectful balance sealed by silence.
Historical records date the wine-growing vocation of the hills of the Marca Trevigiana area back to the Middle Ages. Excellent white wines were produced here, which, as was written in 1606, were exported and appreciated 'in Venice, Germany and as far away as Poland'.
It was a natural selection that imposed the Glera grape in this oenological court of the Marca Trevigiana, especially in the Valdobbiadene area, where it has reigned ever since on the steep slopes of the Pliocene hills. The environment is severe, close to the first Dolomite peaks, but well protected and kissed by the warm midday light. It is here, in this environment with its solid roots of rural toil and rich traditions, that the company's story begins.
In 1920, grandfather Abele purchased from Count Balbi Valier a vineyard naturally laid out like an amphitheatre. Beautiful and full of promise. A land with which to start again, together with his son Adriano. Abele had an extraordinary intuition: to separate this vineyard from all the others because its characteristics were different. Thus, in August 1933, he presented at the First Exhibition of Typical Italian Wines in Siena, the Riva Giardino Asciutto, the first real Cru in Valdobbiadene.
