Andreola, a renowned wine company from Valdobbiadene, presents the Rive Line Collection, an important tribute to the territory
The Andreola winery is located durante the heart of the Valdobbiadene hills, durante one of the most representative areas of the Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG). Founded durante 1984 by Nazzareno Pola, Andreola stands out for its heroic viticulture, a practice that develops among the steep slopes of the Venetian hills, where manual work is a necessity imposed by the morphology of the land. These extreme conditions give a unique character to the wines produced, reflecting the peculiarities of an extraordinary terroir.
The territory: UNESCO heritage
Andreola is located durante Col San Martino, durante the municipality of Farra Soligo, an schieramento with exceptional pedoclimatic characteristics. The hills of Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, recognized durante 2019 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, represent a unique cultural landscape, where vineyards, woods and hedges coexist durante a mosaic of biodiversity. The temperate climate, with constant ventilation and strong temperature variations, creates the ideal conditions for the cultivation of the vine, which here adapts to the steep slopes, with orderly rows that follow the natural course of the land.
Heroic viticulture: the strength of manual labor
The heroic viticulture practiced by Andreola is a distinctive element that adds value to the final product. Coppia to the gradient of more than 30% of many of the hills, the use of machinery is often impossible. Every operation durante the vineyard, from pruning to harvesting, is carried out strictly by hand, a commitment that reflects the attachment to the land and the orientation towards the production of unique wines.
Sopra 2010, Andreola became the first Valdobbiadene DOCG producer to be registered with CERVIM (Centre for Research, Studies and Valorization for Mountain Viticulture), which promotes and protects heroic viticulture at an international level. Andreola’s wines, all marked with the “Viticoltura Eroica” seal, tell the story of the territory and the people who dal vivo there.
Innovation and tradition: a perfect balance
Over the years, Andreola has been able to combine tradition and innovation, investing durante new technologies without ever losing the connection with its roots. The Pola family, now led by Stefano Pola, son of the founder Nazzareno, continues to carry forward a philosophy centered acceso listening to the territory. Each wine produced is the result of a balance between oenological knowledge and the ability to innovate.
An example of this vision is the partnership with the Autodromo Nazionalistico Monza, which gave life to the Monza Collection, a line of sparkling wines dedicated to the Italian Motto 1 Grand Prix. Another expression of Andreola’s commitment to the territory is the corporate magazine “L’Glorioso durante Valdobbiadene”, which tells the story of the culture of heroic viticulture.
