Notes on the producer
Cantina Bernardi was founded in 1960 by Mansueto Bernardi. Today the winery is run by his sons, Pierluigi and Adriano aided by their sons - Mansueto's grandsons. The winery is based in the village of Refrontolo among the rolling hills of the 'Prosecco Wine Road' which leads from Valdobbiadene and Conegliano. The vineyards are situated in the heart of the DOCG region of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore and all the grapes are hand-picked. From the vineyards can be seen the symbol of the estate - the ancient mill of Molinetto della Croda in the Lierza Valley.
