EXCELLENCE IN WINES FROM CONEGLIANO VALDOBBIADENE

A TERRITORY, A FAMILY, A STORY OF WINEMAKING

Masottina is the historic brand of the Dal Bianco family, born and bred in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore hills, listed in 2019 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The winery was set up in 1946, when grandfather Epifanio bought the Ai Palazzi estate at Gorgo al Monticano, comprising five hectares of vineyards and a farmhouse. Renovation of the farmhouse brought to light the words CASA MASOTTINA on one of the original walls. Casa Masottina gave birth to the two oenological hearts of the Dal Bianco family: Masottina, to produce Prosecco and sparkling wines, and the brand Ai Palazzi for the winery’s important still wines. The grapes vinified for Masottina wines come from the 208 hectares of vineyards owned and managed directly by the family, extending over the Conegliano hills, on the banks of the River Piave, at Gorgo al Monticano and Mogliano Veneto. This vine planted area has been built up over the years by the second generation and encapsulates the excellence of Masottina wines. Winemaker Adriano Dal Bianco now runs the Group, with his sons Federico, Vice President, and Filippo, Sales Director. They are assisted by Adriano’s wife Franca, who coordinates administration.

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, and in particular Rive di Ogliano, express the quality of production by Masottina, one of the first wineries to believe in and produce this type of wine by vinifying 43 cru that exalt and honour the designation’s biodiversity. R.D.O. is the name Masottina has given to its collection dedicated to the Rive di Ogliano. This production represents excellence recognised worldwide thanks to the prestigious acknowledgement of the Wine Spectator, which includes R.D.O. Levante among the world’s 100 best wines and the prestigeus Platinum Decanter Medal, in both the cases the first apparence for a Rive di Ogliano Wine. Such renown began with Robert Parker, who gave the 2011 vintage a score of 90+, and continued with Decanter, which every year since 2012 has included it among the best wines in its category, with a special mention by Michael Edwards, who defined it “The Champ, a stunning wine with everything”. Masottina also represents the Conegliano Valdobbiadene designation through its Contrada Granda collection, dedicated to the historic centre of Conegliano and traditionally vinified to unite the different souls of the hills. For this reason, it was elected by Decanter as Wine of the Year, the only Italian sparkling wine to be selected in the 2021 edition.

The production of Prosecco wines gives a perfect overview of the universe that goes from Prosecco Superiore to Prosecco DOC, with another jewel in our crown, Prosecco DOC Treviso. Over the years, the Brut version of this wine has become the Masottina brand’s ambassador in the world. In 2017 it was awarded a prestigious 96 points by Steven Spurrier for the English magazine Decanter, which remains the highest score ever given to this type of wine. Masottina Prosecco wine has its own unique style, in which traditional knowledge is combined with clever use of modern technology. The strengths of Masottina wine are selection of the best Glera grapes and the gravity production method, by which the must is obtained without stressing the grapes, so achieving an excellent finished product deriving from a vinification process created by Adriano Dal Bianco at Terre di Ogliano.

To complete its range, in 2018 the company added the Ai Palazzi, dedicated to the important Veneto tradition of still wine, particularly the designation Colli di Conegliano DOCG with Montesco and Rizzardo, wines from two single vineyards, produced in a limited number. Adriano Dal Bianco is especially proud of this designation, as he was one of its main promoters.

OGLIANO'S IDENTITY

For the Dal Bianco family Ogliano represents the crowning of a production process closely linked to the land, the vineyard and agricultural work. Adriano Dal Bianco had interpreted its specifics even before the scientific results produced by a zoning survey of the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene territory were known. As a result, the family chose to invest in this special area, reinstating old vines dating back beyond 50 years, and planting new ones, cultivating approximately 20% of the entire vine planted area.


Chardonnay

Pinot Nero

Pinot Noir

Brut

Refined and elegant, this wine is pale straw in colour, with fine, lingering perlage. On the nose, sensations of green apples, plums and apricots, but also delicate floral hints of jasmine, acacia blossoms and wisteria. Fresh in the mouth, there is light acidity, which goes perfectly with the fresh, juicy fruit perceived on the nose.

Extra Dry

Soft and subtle in its elegant refinement, this Prosecco wine is a specimen of the most popular type, in which the sugar content exalts aromatic complexity. The extra fine, lingering perlage is genteel and gracious, underlining a soave palate and beautifully balanced fruity, floral nose.


Coming from a vineyard facing south-west, this wine encapsulates all the elegance and finesse of a unique terroir such as Ogliano, where its typical features are sealed by a slightly spicy hint that develops in crescendo thanks to its longevity. The wine is made from hand-picked selected grapes, white vinified by the gravity method. Prise de mousse and maturation take place over approximately three months, followed by further ageing for one month in bottle.

A well-balanced wine, created in the traditional way uniting the different spirits of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills: Ogliano, featuring the complexity and aromatic intensity of fruit, Solighetto with its floral hints, and Rolle for pronounced acidity. White vinification, prise de mousse and maturation take place over approximately one month, followed by another month’s ageing in bottle.

A delicate wine, distinguished by a fine, lingering perlage. Golden Delicious apples, pink grapefruit and limes are clearly perceived on the nose; to these are added more delicate hints of pears and plums, together with wisteria flowers. Soft and silky, in the mouth it develops the pleasant freshness of fruit straight off the tree.

Rosé

This wine expresses all the elegance of Pinot Noir, from its bright pink colour to its aroma, which includes clear fragrant hints of wild strawberries, raspberries, red currants and cherries, enhanced by white pulp peaches, apricots and a floral touch. Fresh on the palate, where fruit predominates. This wine is elegant, pleasantly fruity and delicate, but full of personality.

This wine blends the elegance of Pinot Noir and the versatility of Glera. The Glera grapes are white vinified, and the Pinot Noir red vinified, after brief pre-fermentation maceration of 24 – 36 hours. The two base wines are then blended before prise de mousse, which takes place on selected yeasts for at least ninety days. The wine ages in bottle for a month before distribution.

This Prosecco wine is distinguished by its aromatic intensity, initially presenting hints of citrus fruit such as lemons, grapefruit and limes, which then make way for an end note of apples and pears. Fresh and lively, citrus and ripe fruit experienced on the nose return in the mouth. The finish develops into softness and harmony.

A wine that encapsulates all the Dal Bianco family’s experience and skills in producing sparkling wine. Carefully selected white berry grapes from the territory, white vinified, give birth to fresh dynamic bubbly, with a pleasantly aromatic finish, perfectly balanced with delicate floral and fruity hints.

A delicate sparkling wine made from selected grapes. The red berry grapes are red vinified after a brief maceration period of 24-36 hours at 8 -10°C. Prise de mousse takes place at low temperature in pressure tanks. The result is a full-bodied, silky vertical wine that on the palate aligns with its fragrance. Long, enveloping finish.

Hails from a vineyard of 50-year-old vines, facing east and caressed by a constant breeze. The result is a wine whose powerful fruity aroma, structure and mineral touches are widely acknowledged.
Hand-picked, selected grapes are white vinified by the gravity method. Prise de mousse and maturation take place for approximately three months, followed by further ageing for one month in bottle.

A well-balanced wine with a lingering finish in which the sugar content brings out its finesse. Once again we can appreciate the different essences of grapes from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills, selected and white vinified. Prise de mousse and maturation take place over approximately one month, followed by another month of ageing in bottle.

This wine, created by the third generation of the Dal Bianco family, comes from vineyards cultivated using organic methods that observe Nature’s timing, without forcing the plant to produce a high yield and without using chemical fertilisers. The wine is sleek, flavourful and pleasant on the palate with the balance of acidity and softness enhanced in the lingering aromatic finish.

Extra Brut

This wine comes from a single vineyard at Gorgo al Monticano, on the historic estate of the Dal Bianco family, where business began in 1946. A dry wine with a clear, lingering finish whose amazing elegance reveals an intriguing structure. It is made of grapes selected on the vine and in the winery, white vinified by the gravity method.
