Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG
The Foss Marai winery is located in Guia, in the splendid setting of Valdobbiadene, a historic production area of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG and the territory where the highest expression of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG originates.
The UNESCO World Heritage designation is no coincidence: the hilly area of Valdobbiadene offers breathtaking scenery and great charm, where time seems to have stood still.
The soils in this area vary in composition and have particularly distinctive characteristics which, together with the local climate, help give the grapes a truly special aromatic quality. In this region, the art of winemaking has developed in remarkable harmony with the landscape in all its aspects – geographical, physical and climatic – creating a perfect integration between people and territory.
Distinctive Features of Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG
What makes Valdobbiadene such an important area for the production of an excellent Valdobbiadene DOCG? The main characteristics that make the difference in the glass are: altitude, the “terroir” – meaning the soil, rich in carbonates, iron and manganese, present in different proportions and compositions throughout the various areas within the designation – the exposure of the native vineyards, air quality, rainfall, temperature variations and the historic presence of different grape varieties, including “Bianchetta”, “Perera” and “Verdiso”. All these elements give the grapes their distinctive aromatic quality, which can be recognised in the fine sparkling wine.
Another distinctive element is the passion of those who, generation after generation, have worked these lands with expertise and dedication, contributing through their commitment to making this territory and its products unique, exclusive and inimitable. Conegliano-Valdobbiadene is indeed a magnificent area, but at the same time one that is difficult to cultivate. For many years, and with patience, winegrowers have worked the hills, centimetre by centimetre, making the soil more suitable for cultivation and tending their beloved vineyards by hand.
the Foss Marai philosophy
Today a leading name in the world of Italian sparkling wines, the Foss Marai winery was founded in 1986 by Carlo and Adriana Biasiotto, who passed on to their children the family’s core values, including a deep attachment to and respect for the land. “Leniter in itinere”, meaning “slowly on the journey”, is the manifesto of a family culture built on bringing together winemaking tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and entrepreneurship, to achieve a production standard above that of the mass market, specialising in premium Italian sparkling wines made using the Charmat method. Among these is the exceptional Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze DOCG, the finest expression of the Valdobbiadene area, named after the vineyard area of the same name, where Glera grapes are grown and considered the most prized in the region.
“Leniter in itinere”, meaning “slowly on the journey”, is also the motto that perfectly represents the company. Since its foundation, Foss Marai has embraced the idea of “slowness”, understood as a deep respect for the rhythms and timing of nature, and has developed a production process in which quality is a conscious and sustainable choice every day.
The prestigious Foss Marai Valdobbiadene DOCG labels are undoubtedly the flagship of this winery, which has deliberately remained small in terms of production volumes while standing among the finest in terms of quality standards, technical and artisanal expertise, and experimentation.
