Azienda Agricola Giol / Venetien
On our first visit the Azienda in the heart of the Piave we were very impressed. The farm buildings in the old part of the town of San Polo di Piave are all from the 19th CENTURY underts. This period also saw the establishment of the Agriculture of the Azienda Giol and the construction of the impressive Castello falls. Viticulture began the great-grandfather Vittorio Carraro but in Argentina, where he had built the then largest vineyard in the world. This came back from the early 20th century Argentina and built the wine cellar of Cantina on. The once thriving wine but was neglected in recent decades giol, in favor of other agriculture (mainly sugar). The farm buildings were gradually abandoned and neglected over time. Only at the beginning of the 90s the whole estate has been revegetated. The basement facilities were very engaiert resurfaced and completely replanted the Rebbe as with local vines. The Carraro family is devoted to organic viticulture. To currently about 20 ha of winemaker and oenologist produce excellent wine. The proceeds of the sales hike in coming years almost entirely in new investments in the cellar and vineyard, to further increase the production and to ensure a high quality and investment in modern technology.

fruity & harmonious
This Merlot presents itself from its spicy side. Lovage and
juniper smell from the glass. In the mouth, the wine appears rather slender. A cool
fruit harmonises with a fine spiciness reminiscent of black tea leaves. Discreet,
soft tannins give the wine structure.
Goes well with pizza, pasta, young to medium-aged cheese.
powerful & full-bodied
An exquisite black-red Cabernet from the lowlands of the Piave with a hint of musk.
