Vignaioli Contra Soarda is a remarkable winery nestled in the scenic hills of the Asiago plateau, near Bassano del Grappa. This region has a rich history of producing exceptional wines and olives. Founded by Gloria and Mirco, the winery marks a shift from their family's century-long involvement in the restaurant business. Today, the second generation, Eleonora and Marcello Gottardi, carry on the family legacy, nurturing over 60,000 vines and 1,000 olive trees with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
Situated in a hilly area with volcanic soil, Contra Soarda benefits from significant temperature variations that enhance grape quality. The region enjoys ample sunlight and cool breezes from the Valsugana Valley, creating an ideal microclimate for cultivating high-quality, fruity grapes. The winery practices sustainable viticulture, using bread-based products for plant care and avoiding chemical fertilizers to protect the ecosystem.
The winery features stunning architecture inspired by the works of Gaudí and Dieste, surrounded by their Cru vineyards. Grapes such as Garganega, Pinot Noir, Carmenere, Merlot, and Vespaiola are used to produce a diverse range of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines. The winemaking process combines modern technology with bio-architecture principles, utilizing temperature-controlled tanks for vinification and aging in a barricaia. In addition to Breganze DOC wines, Vignaioli Contra Soarda offers a limited-edition wine range called Musso, named after the Veneto dialect word for donkey. The winery also operates the Pulierin restaurant, established in 1986, which beautifully blends tourism, nature, culture, and fine wines.

It's charming on the outside, but it's also very cute and tender on the inside. We ate very well and the wines they offered us to accompany the dishes were excellent. The staff was attentive and super courteous. Truly an exceptional experience.

Just 5 minutes from Bassano you will find a wonderful place with a breathtaking view! Immersed in the greenery between hills, vineyards... excellent for an aperitif, with the matching dinner the result is a dream evening. Divine dinner with refined dishes with attention to detail, quality and price appropriate to the location. I recommend the Musso red wine, very fruity and full-bodied, to accompany a second course of meat.
