Borgo Antico is a family owned winery in the hills of Conegliano Veneto, a land of moraine origin and rich in clay that has always been devoted to the cultivation of vines and that gives wines delicate scents and particularly determined aromas.
The adventure begins in 1973, when Mr. Marchesin Vito decides to produce local wines, involving the whole family and especially his son Leonardo who, as a child, accompanies him into the vineyard taking in the atmosphere and learning the secrets of a fascinating work, initiating that learning which will lead Leonardo to become winemaker. In 1995 he takes over the reins of the company, which now has 15 hectares of land and produces 70,000 bottles a year. The most widely planted variety, ie 80% of the total production, is represented by the CONEGLIANO–VALDOBBIADENE PROSECCO SUPERIORE DOCG, and by some native varieties such as Marzemino and Verdiso, while the rest is represented by Merlot, Cabernet, Chardonnay.
Our is a winery that vinifies only grapes of own production and of our own bestowers, these latter carefully selected and followed in the vineyard. The attention starts from the plant with a respectful approach in choosing not to use herbicides and to minimize the use of chemicals. The grape harvest done by hand in boxes certainly adds value and quality to the final product. All this is nationally recognized with awards such as the Vinitaly award (bronze medal with the sparkling wine Prosecco DOC Conegliano–Valdobbiadene 2008), numerous reviews in industry magazines such as “Grandi Spumanti Italiani”, “I Grandi Vini” – “Guida Bollicine” e by the “Gambero Rosso” guide, awarded as Italian Sparkling Wine with the best value for money. To mention are numerous awards at regional and local levels.
