Baccolo was born as a tribute to the God Bacchus, who is fully recognized by wine lovers. Its two wines are made with ingenious blends of Italian varietals such as Corvina and Garganega. The result is wines with good complexity and a great amount of fruit thanks to their fermentation at low temperatures. They are wines that protect biodiversity. Cielo e Terra, the company that owns Baccolo, has two strong roots
in the Veneto region, in the north-east of Italy. The first is the Cielo family: a history of 4 generations. The second, the Cantine dei Colli Berici cooperative, with over 2000 associated winegrowers. In 1908, Giovanni Cielo, the founder, bought a small estate in Montorso, overlooking the castles of Romeo and Juliet.
Cielo e Terra has two roots in the Veneto region: the Cielo family and the winemakers of Cantine dei Colli Berici.
The Cielo family's bond with the land began in 1908 in the Vicenza countryside, near the Castelli di Romeo e Giulietta (Romeo and Juliet's Castles), where great-grandfather Giovanni had bought a small farm with a vineyard. Grandfather Pietro continued to run the company with passionate enthusiasm and social commitment. In the 1960s, the third generation, Giovanni, Renzo and Piergiorgio, built the new winery, a combination of tradition and innovative research with marked expansion at a national level.
Today, Luca and Pierpaolo are at the helm of the company, supported by the winemakers of the Cantine dei Colli Berici.
The vineyards of our associated winegrowers extend between the provinces of Vicenza and Verona.
The land has volcanic and basaltic origins, and the charm of its landscape has remained intact over time. Composed of forests and vineyards, it is dotted with small, well-kept villages and Palladian villas and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site for many years.
We are proud to live in a rich and fertile area. Large expanses of forest and an excellent climate, together with our proximity to the sea and the protection of the Small Dolomites, have made this land ideal for growing vines since ancient times. Garganega and Tai wines were produced here, and the oldest evidence of Prosecco production can be found here.
In fact, Prosecco di Monte Berico is mentioned in a literary volume from 1754 entitled "Roccolo Ditirambo".
