The winery
Timeless winemaking tradition
In the heart of Prosecco Superiore, in an area particularly suited to viticulture, originates the story of Riva dei Frati, which owes its name to the place where the vineyards are located: an abbey forgotten by time and a steep slope where the truest Prosecco grapes refine their fragrance. We are in one of the rarest areas of the Valdobbiadene territory; among these hills there are gentle slopes, adorned with magnificent rows of vines, where for centuries the skilful tradition of man has excelled in the cultivation of vines.
