Gran Maestro Primitivo di Manduria

The Cielo e Terra winery has two strong roots in the Veneto region of north-east Italy. The first is the Cielo family: a history of 4 generations. The second is 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. Grandfather Pietro developed the wine business and saved the estate during the war.

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.
