Background:

The company, established in 1936 by Pietro Tonon, follows his important teachings: constant research, great attention to the vineyards, vintage selection and careful processing to take wine to the tasting. Today this is backed by technological innovations with respect to tradition and the product. The ageing and maturation of our best wines take place in small oak casks. Our company belongs to the association for the protection of Conegliano Valdobbiadene D.O.C.G. since its foundation. From the heart of Conegliano Valdobbiadene D.O.C.G. land: the production zone includes a territory comprising 15 communes. The vines are grown only on the sunniest part of the hills, at a height between 50 and 500 metres above sea level. In order to protect the excellence of this heritage donated to man by nature, in 2010 the appellation D.O.C. has been upgraded to D.O.C.G., a guarantee of prime quality for each bottle. The VILLA TERESA® range of wines is designed to offer customers a product close to wine grape growing traditions. For this reason the grapes used come from naturally cultivated vineyards where the vine and its fruit are carefully nurtured without using chemical agents such as synthetic fertilizers, weed killers, insecticides or genetically modified organisms. The VILLA TERESA® wines are certified ICEA with regard to production, winemaking and preservation.
