Winemaker Notes
Torresella is a village in the countryside of Portogruaro; a site where the founder, Count Gaetano Marzotto, created his agricultural estate, including housing and recreational facilities for those who tended the land. After gaining expertise in 1952, as a pioneer in Prosecco, the family owned winery was born. Since its fruition in 1984, Torresella has produced authentic Venetian wines that reflect the estate's strong commitment to nature. This special relationship with the environment is symbolized on every label by the logo: a growing grapevine with a little egret bird (called garzetta), from Veneto’s distinctive ecosystem.
The wines are sustainably-farmed, using only natural products (not synthetically-derived) in the vineyards and using lightweight packaging to reduce their carbon footprint for years. As of 2012, the solar panels on the winery's roof have made the company completely energy self-sufficient. Beginning with the 2019 vintage Prosecco DOC and Pinot Grigio DOC wines, the vineyards have been awarded the SQNPI certification; an accolade which further shows their sustainable practices and agricultural environmentalism.
