Vineyards & Wines
More than sixty-six acres of specialized vineyards, projected with an intensified planting density and a reduced pro-hectare grape yield, have been cultivated for generations with the same passion, surround the family's villa and are vocated to produce fine and elegant wines. A vocation that was transmetted by father Lorenzo Tessari, an indefatigable viticulturist.

The brothers
The day-to-day running of the estate is now in the hands of the third generation: Sisto, the agronomist, Pietro, the winemaker, and Elena, responsible for public relations.

Their brother Simone is chef/proprietor of the nearby Alpone restaurant, where the company's wines are matched with innovative interpretations of traditional local dishes.
