Riccardo Azienda Agricola Winery: A Legacy of 200 Years

The Fornasier family has been cultivating grapes since the late 1800s in the picturesque hills of Cartizze. In this region, agriculture thrived, with vineyards flourishing on the hillsides while grass was sown for livestock and mulberry trees nurtured for silkworms. The unique soil composition and microclimate of the Prosecco, Valdobbiadene, and Conegliano areas contribute to the distinctive character of their wines. The primary grape varieties grown here are Glera and Prosecco, known for their delicate, creamy structure and refreshing, harmonious taste.

A Cellar Rich in History

Since 1918, the Fornasier family has been producing wines for local markets. In the 1960s, Riccardo took the reins, continuing the family tradition while implementing a certified supply chain. He focused on selecting the finest production areas and collaborating with a new generation of agronomists and winemakers. Their cellar proudly houses a collection of wines from the past 70 years, showcasing the evolution of their craft.

Commitment to Tradition and Sustainability

Riccardo Azienda Agricola values traditional winemaking methods passed down through generations. They prioritize natural principles, allowing time and care to shape their wines. All vineyard tasks are performed manually, with a strong emphasis on organic and sustainable practices. This commitment not only protects the environment but also ensures the health of their vines for future generations.
