Colli Bericci Gran Bericanto Riserva

Casa Defrà was founded in 1908 on a small estate facing the hills of Berici, Vicenza. Today Casa Defrà represents the best selection of Berici winegrowers, a large family with a long tradition and passion. For over 40 years, its winegrowers have been committed to sustainable cultivation such as: soil analysis and assessment of the nutritional needs of each vine in order to limit fertilizer and adopt, where possible, grazing;

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.
