A land naturally suitable
The Acerle winery is located in Santo Stefano in Valdobbiadene, at the centre of the historical production area of the Conegliano and Valdobbiadene’s Prosecco Superiore. The hills go from East to West, with a side facing South, where the vineyards enjoy the best sun exposure and a side facing North, mostly covered by woods. Here the wine’s culture has been well established for centuries and the secrets of tradition are passed down from generation to generation just like ours.
Handmade
The man and the landscape have shaped each other, the wine’s culture has been embedded for centuries in this territory and the steepness of the hills sometimes calls for an °heroic° viticulture, made of so much attention and effort. It takes about 600 hours per year to work one hectare of hilly vineyard
Unique microclimate
The position between the sea and the Pre-Alps assure a mild climate, with mild winters and hot but not muggy summers. The altitude also guarantees a constant ventilation which in turn leads to a good temperature range
Ancient Lands
The hills are characterized by a diversity of lands’ structure at times steeper at times more linear. A combination of very ancient soils, generally deep and fine texture, mixed with soils of marine origin, composed of marls and sandstones, less deep and more filtered.
