Cultivar delle Volte

The winery was established in 1997, when Bignotti’s family decided to start to cultivate the tiny vineyard of the paternal grandfather, who had always run it and had produced wine from the grapes in the traditional 15thcentury-cellars located in via Monte Grappa.

ABOUT THE WINERY

Cellar

The Bignotti family cellars are two leveled cellars and they permit the so-called “A caduta” winemaking technique: at the arrival of the grapes there is a selection of the bunches and grapes are removed from the stalks. Then, red wines undergo the pressing phase, while for white wines there is a softer pressing.
