With an extension of 75 hectares, 55 in the Soave area and 20 in the Valpolicella area, the company produces about 650,000 bottles a year, of which about 65% are exported to 55 countries around the world.
There are three locations: the historic wine cellar in the heart of the village of Soave where, from its foundation until 2018, all stages of production have been carried out; the cellar in Tregnago, in Valpolicella, dedicated to the production of red wines and, finally, the brand new underground cellar, located on the slopes of the medieval Rocca di Soave, a modern, functional, avant-garde and innovative building, which covers approximately 8,000 square metres of land and is now the operational heart of the company.
