Tucked away in a stunning area, set between the exquisite land locked lagoons of Venice and the grand Carnic Alps, in the alluvial plain in the province of Pordenone (Friuli Venezia Giulia), the lush vineyards of this family-run estate, bear witness to the long- standing family tradition of over 200 years of passionate effort and endless love for nature.The vineyard from which Najma Prosecco is produced, is an integral part of the estate which has been owned and managed by the same family since 1800. In the past, the owners of the estate were merchants who made their fortune in the trade of the timber collected from the Carnic Alps. Such wood was then sold to the ancient city of Venice to make boats or gondolas and to build the foundation of the magnificent palaces on the Grand Canal. That is why the family crest displayed a special tree which grows on mountain’s peaks, called “Cirmolo” o “Pino Cembro” (“Stone Pine”), which today can also be seen on our winery logo, highlighting the strong bonds of the present owners with their family story and values.The new vineyard has been growing since 2002, inline with the teachings of the “School of vine pruning- Simonit- Sirch”, with pruning technique focusing on how to preserve the natural flow of the sap through the vine. Thanks to this approach, the vine becomes more resilient to pests, fungi and phytoplasmas, living longer and in good health. This approach favors quality over quantity for the long term survival of the vine and the production of healthier grapes, with less treatments required. The new vineyard covers 20 ha. and includes grapes of several varieties: Glera, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Ribolla Gialla, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso.Our vision is based on some important principles: • Respect of nature and its cycles • Viticulture of excellence • Sustainable production via a holistic approach to vine growing (certified) • NO use of animal-derived products in the winery (vegan) We fulfil our mission to produce our Prosecco exclusively from our sustainably-grown grapes, applying only low impact techniques and products, to preserve the environment where we live, for the enjoyment of future generations. It is our wish to make our Prosecco known beyond our national boundaries to niche, premium markets around the world and to reach an audience of connaisseurs, interested in tasting the diverse expressions of our wines and of our terroir.
