Siro Merotto: A Family Legacy in Treviso’s San Martino Region

Founded in 1960 by Siro and his grandfather Giovanni Merotto, the Siro Merotto winery is now managed by the next generation, Nicola and Mirko. Nestled in the picturesque San Martino region of Treviso, this family-owned winery has been a proud member of La Strada del Prosecco since March 2017, Italy's oldest wine route. Additionally, they are affiliated with the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers, emphasizing their commitment to quality and tradition.

Vineyards: A Testament to Tradition

The vineyards stretch across the southern hills between Vidor and Vittorio Veneto, characterized by slopes of up to 50%. This unique topography ensures optimal sunlight exposure and a favorable climate for grape growing. Siro Merotto employs traditional vineyard practices, with most tasks performed by hand, reflecting their dedication to organic methods. The primary grapes cultivated here are Prosecco and Glera, harvested manually to ensure quality and care.

Winemaking: Crafting Quality Sparkling Wines

Once harvested, the grapes are processed in the winery to create their renowned sparkling wines. Utilizing traditional methods, the base wine is refined with natural yeast, enhancing its structure and acidity. Low-temperature fermentation contributes to the wines' finesse. The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG undergoes a meticulous aging process in pressure tanks, lasting from 50 days to 5 months, resulting in a refined perlage.

The wines from Siro Merotto truly reflect the exceptional terroir of the region and the artistry of their winemaking techniques.
