With great pride we have selected a Tuscany IGT red, produced with the traditional winemaking practice with a slow fermentation of fresh wine together with slightly dried grapes to give a softer and more contemporary taste. Since 1908, Cielo e Terra winery has been producing high quality wines and developing professional winemaking know-how. Today they want to create a new collection of extraordinary Italian blends, where their talented winemaker combines

renowned varieties with less popular ones, in order to protect the biodiversity of Italian viticulture. They are also convinced that the art of winemaking is a combination of different territories and the ability to blend different varieties to obtain unique wines designed to satisfy and intrigue the most demanding consumers.

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".
