From this winery
  • Start up year: 1898
  • Oenologist: Marco Dell'Eva, Franco Bernabei consulente
  • Bottles produced: 15.000.000
  • Hectares: 2.040
A company founded by Pietro Sartori in Negrar in 1898, his five sons all studied and, among a doctor, a lawyer and an engineer, the figure of Regolo stood out as the one who started the winemaking adventure.

The heir, endowed with a superfine palate, like a tailor, was able to 'sew' with extreme care the wines to propose to his clientele, which grew year after year.

After the Second World War, numbers also soared. Then, in 1952, when Regolo passed away, his two sons took over the business, opening it up to the foreign market.

The 1990s marked a turning point in the management of Casa Vinicola Sartori, which saw the entry of the Sartori family into the Board of Directors of the Colognola ai Colli winery to implement an ambitious growth project in the production and distribution of wines at a worldwide level. A goal successfully achieved.

Climate Altitude: 150-300 m. a.s.l.
Soil composition Calcareous alkaline soil with medium depth root penetration. A combination of excellent drainage (& poor water retention by the soil) together with a stony textured topsoil, create the ideal condition for high quality and low yield grape production.
Plants per hectare 3,500-4,000
Yield per hectare 1.5 kg.
Harvest Grapes are carefully selected & placed in small plastic crates and carried immediately to the winery. Here a second selection is done on a conveyer belt before pressing the grapes.
Wine making Vinification then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks where, through maceration and fermentation and the use of techniques such as rack and return and regular pumpovers, the new wine is born.
Aging Once the wine has been racked off its gross lees, it is transferred to barrels to undergo Malolactic Fermentation. Barrel sizes vary from (2,000-2,500lt casks, 500lt Puncheons, 225lt Barriques) During the 12 4 months, the wine goes through regular rackings and topping-up of the barrels until final blending, imparting balance, finesse, and suppleness of tannins.
