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;

the protection of vineyards through field controls and evaluation of weather forecasts in order to schedule only the necessary treatment, thus limiting the environmental impact; installation of water purification and solar panels in wine cellars; direct support with an additional contribution for the protection of viticulture in the most inaccessible areas that contribute to the protection of biodiversity.

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".
