AWARD WINNING WINE

The Dal Maso family, already at the end of the 1800s, with grandfather Serafino was growing Garganega grapes and producing wine in the Gambellara area. We have always believed in the great potential of these lands and their grapes, so that, one of the wineyards belonging to our family, Cà Fischele, is known to human recollection as the oldest in the entire valley.
It is towards the end of the '60s though, with the arrival in the winery of Luigino Dal Maso, that there is a strong and decisive turn in improving viticulture and commercial aspects.

At the beginning of the '90s, Nicola, Serafino's son, venologist, took control of the productive aspects of the winery, giving new impulse to the family business.

Today the winery can boast state of the art vinification technologies, functional and modern working buildings that allow us achieve the high quality of the wines signed Dal Maso.

The winery has two main properties, for a total of 30 hectares, one sited in Montebello county in the heart of Gambellara DOC area, the other on the sun drenched Colli Berici (Berici Hills) area between Lonigo and Alonte.

The gently sloping sides of these hills have always been prime ground for the making of great wines, originated both from autochthon varieties and international vines, thanks to the optimal sun exposure, the unique microclimate and the singular geological soil composition of the area.

Taking advantage of this magnificent environment, preferring the traditional espalier growing technique with low yield per vine, our job is to perfectly blend land, vines and skills to create these inimitable wines.
All the enological operations carried out in our facility in Montebello, have as finalresult the preservation of the fruits' aromatic integrity.
With this in mind, the grape picking is done in crates, and the still undamaged grapes are immediately sent to the grape pressing, that will be carried out using latest generation presses.

Fermentation, the last and most important operation in the whole production cycle, is accurately controlled so to exalt all the natural characteristics of the grapes.
Following our tradition, crus and reserves will be elevated in barriques and in barrels for periods from 6 to 24 months, with the certainty that they will reach each consumer's table at the utmost of excellence..

Next to the ancient underground cellar built at the end of the 1800s, was built in the '60s the new vinification plant.

Of recent construction are the state of the art premises for ageing of wines in tanks and bottles. The new CANTINE, mixing old traditions and modern architecture, are a production facility that preserves all the efforts already made in the vineyards, preserving the value of our wines unaltered unaffected thanks to modern air conditioning and stocking systems.

For the wine-tourists willing to visit our facility, the winery is ready to welcome them to the best with guided tours and personalized wine tasting, able to satisfy wine buffs and more demanding experts.

Gambellara Classico is one of the most ancient wines produced in Italy. The Garganega grape has always been grownon the hills surronding Gambellara and Montebello, and we produce three types of white wine from these grapes: Gambellara Classico, Cà Fischele and Riva del Molino.
The first is fruity, fresh and with a flowery aroma, the two crus are the perfect expression of the single vineyard, with aromas that range from almond to elder and where the floral hints of the grapes pass on to the wine.

By fermentation of the best selections we get a fine Champagne Brut called Primis. The growing success of sweet wines go hand in hand with our centuries-old experience in the production of Recioto, particularly the Riva dei Perari, wine of extraordinary personality, pride and true ambassador of the entire world production signed Dal Maso

White wines constitutes a complete range that reflect flavours and aromas of their area of origin.

Pinot Bianco and sparkling Chardonnay are part of the classic line, fresh, fruity, with moderate alcohol percentage and well balanced. With a more definite personality are the Chardonnay and the Casara Roveri Sauvignon, to finish with the Terra dei Rovi Bianco, extreme expression of the rich and sun drenched Beric terrain.
Red wines are of a very identity determined, intense colour, rich in elegance and softness. Cabernet and Tocai Rosso Classic, representing the freshness and harmony of a production that has its distinctive character in youth.
Montebelvedere Cabernet, Merlot and Cabernet Casara Roveri, best represent the territory and the vine.
Terra dei Rovi Rosso and Colpizzarda are the two flagship wines: the first is our interpretation of the Bordelais, the second is a fine local red.
