Andreola

The Andreola winery is located in the hills of Col San Martino in the centre of the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG production area. Today, Stefano Pola runs the 35-hectare azienda in Farra di Soligo, halfway between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, with the same philosophy as his father Nazzareno. Stefano's passion for viticulture is manifested, for example, in the loving care of the vines, great attention to detail in the cellar and adherence to traditional production methods. This impulse results in convincing wines that are a delight to the nose and the palate, bringing much joy to the glasses of wine lovers worldwide.

The Pola family has primarily dedicated itself to producing high-quality Proseccos, without completely ignoring still wines - including less common types of wine - in their wide range. In addition to classic red Bordeaux wines for lovers of lighter, quaffable wines, the Veneto winery, where research and development are very important, also produces numerous types of frizzante. It is difficult to decide between very clear versions and wines characterised by a fine veil that have undergone a second fermentation phase on the lees in the bottle. The Azienda Agricola Andreola's battery of bottles is still quite extensive today, although it was thinned out somewhat when the new denomination was introduced. The company's DOCG labels are at the top of the range and impressively reflect the rather cool, mineral terroir of the Valdobbiadene district compared to the neighbouring Conegliano region.

The most important grape variety in the wines is, of course, the Glera grape, which is produced in a variety of ways, fully utilising the DOC regulations and the still relatively new regulations for the newly created DOCG. On the slopes of Col San Martino (Rive site), some of which have an incline of up to 45°, other white grape varieties also grow in small quantities, such as Bianchetta, Perera and the very widespread Chardonnay variety. Anyone who savours Andreola's wines quickly realises that, in addition to their freshness, the terroir is particularly important. After all, the sparkling wines are not intended to be a copy of sparkling wines from other growing regions or even countries, but rather the finest Prosecco Superiore from the UNESCO World Heritage-listed core region of Valdobbiadene.
