Mionetto: The Art of Italian Sparkling Wine

In the distant year of 1887, guided by an insatiable passion for the land and his dedication to winemaking, master winemaker Francesco Mionetto founded a winery nestled among the gentle hills of Valdobbiadene, in the heart of the enchanting Prosecco region. Over the following hundred years of history, Mionetto Valdobbiadene became an authentic symbol of this land and a reference point internationally for Prosecco production. Passion, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of excellence represent the fundamental pillars that animate this winery and its brand, giving them an unmistakable and unique style.

From the beginning, the Mionetto Winery has stood out as a forward-thinking company, always able to anticipate industry trends while maintaining its strong connection to the traditions rooted in the territory. It is precisely this characteristic that makes it unique among other sparkling wine producers. Every element of this winery, from the winemaker to the brand itself, embodies the fundamental values of passion, tradition, research, and excellence, each with its own unique and unmistakable style.

In 1982, the Mionetto family introduced the innovative autoclave fermentation method, known as the Charmat Method, which allowed for optimal preservation of the distinctive flavors and aromas of Prosecco. After gentle pressing and the first fermentation at a controlled temperature at the facilities of selected producers, Mionetto adopts the Charmat Method for the second fermentation, which takes place in autoclaves instead of individual bottles. This additional fermentation at a controlled temperature proves essential in preserving the freshness and typical grape aromas during the bottling process.

The work carried out by Mionetto's winemakers goes beyond the simple production of high-quality wines; it also involves the establishment of effective partnerships with local producers who have provided quality grapes for generations. Thanks to these longstanding relationships, "Mionetto" can guarantee excellence in the quality of the grapes purchased and used in the winemaking process. The Mionetto Winery boasts a heritage of experience and tradition that extends for over a century in the Prosecco territory.

Mionetto Prosecco: Unendo Tradizione e Terroir sulle Colline

Imagine a panorama of vineyards stretching to the horizon, with gentle hill profiles and vast plains that extend as far as the eye can see. It is in this splendid territory that the Mionetto Prosecco Winery has rooted itself for almost a century, becoming the privileged interpreter of the Prosecco lands and earning a prominent place on the international stage. The hills reveal their beauty, offering diverse and fascinating landscapes, while the territory is characterized by a temperate climate protected by the majestic northern Alps and warmed by the winds from the Adriatic Sea to the East.

This combination of climatic factors promotes optimal vegetative development of the vine thanks to adequate rainfall. Towards the end of summer, the area stands out for the marked temperature differences between day and night, a factor that contributes to the formation of precious aromatic substances during grape ripening.

The territory dedicated to the cultivation of Glera grapes, the base variety of Prosecco, extends across northeastern Italy between the regions of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. This area boasts a total surface area of approximately 24,000 hectares, is home to about 13,000 producers, and 375 wineries.

The Prosecco DOCG area extends like an endless expanse of vineyards that get lost among soft and sinuous hill profiles. This is the land of Valdobbiadene Prosecco, which, starting from April 1, 2010, along with the Conegliano area, obtained the prestigious Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin (DOCG). This territory, which includes 15 municipalities where the grapes are grown at altitudes ranging from 50 to 500 meters, is the place of production of the highest quality expression of Prosecco, as sanctioned by the new Disciplinary that sought to protect its "Superiority" compared to neighboring areas, where Prosecco production has spread in recent decades.

The qualitative peak of DOCG production is found in the historic microzone of Superiore di Cartizze, an area of 107 hectares that each year gives birth to a unique and sumptuous sparkling wine. The new Denomination has transformed the meaning of the word "Prosecco" from a simple name of a grape variety to a designation of origin. Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore stands out for its floral aroma, delicate hints of honey and wild green apple, which blend with the numerous vegetal and floral aromas of the territory.

The most distinctive organoleptic features are represented by a delicate color, with soft and never excessively intense shades, and delicate olfactory sensations. In these lands, the Glera variety finds the ideal conditions to express itself at its best: long but not too harsh winters and hot but not stifling summers.

Valdobbiadene DOCG is characterized by mainly alluvial, calcareous, and marly soils, while the resulting wine is light, endowed with balanced acidity, and with hints of fresh fruit such as green apple, pear, peach, and apricot, accompanied by floral nuances of acacia flowers.

On the other hand, the territory of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG has predominantly clayey soil and produces a wine with medium structure, featuring scents of ripe fruit and spices. The "Mionetto Prosecco" DOCG is born from a long and fruitful collaboration between the winery and the best grape producers in the area. This historical and established partnership ensures a meticulous selection of the finest grapes.

The Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene Prosecco, in northeastern Italy, offer a unique landscape characterized by hills, terraced vineyards, forests, villages, and cultivations. This territory has been shaped by human intervention, particularly with the use of "ciglioni," which create a suggestive checkerboard pattern with vines arranged in parallel and vertical rows along the slopes. In the 19th century, the technique of "bellussera" further contributed to the aesthetics of the landscape, allowing for sustainable and manual vine cultivation.

This ancient method, along with the presence of small vineyards, forests, woods, and villages, creates a mosaic of environmentally respectful practices that virtuously utilize the territory. The Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene Prosecco have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, as they represent a cultural landscape of great value.

Moving to the Prosecco DOC (Denomination of Controlled Origin) area, established in 2009, it extends to the northeastern region of Italy, precisely in five provinces of Veneto (Treviso, Venice, Vicenza, Padua, Belluno) and four provinces of Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste, and Udine). This new denomination allows specifying the area of origin of Prosecco grapes for the provinces of Treviso and Trieste.

The soil in this area is extremely diverse, ranging from rocky to clayey and sandy terrain. Wines produced in the DOC zone have a slightly lower persistence compared to DOCG but still offer floral and fruity notes of varying intensity depending on the type of soil in which the vines are cultivated.
