Bonotto Delle Tezze

In the shadow of Northern Italy's Dolomite mountains and in the heart of Veneto's famed Treviso District, Bonotto Delle Tezze is a winery with ancient and historic ties to Venetian winemaking traditions.

Overview

Founded over 600 years ago near the tiny hamlet of Borgo Malanotte, the estate was known for centuries as the primary wine supplier to the region's aristocracy and clergy. In modern times, the Bonotto family's growing efforts have become internationally famous, and their focus in the cultivation and preservation of the ancient Raboso del Piave grape have established the winery as one of the most vital contributors to Northern Italy's wine industry.

The unquestioned lord of Italy's newest DOCG (Malanotte del Piave), Bonotto delle Tezze is committed to strict quality controls and perfection in the wines it produces. Grapes are exclusively sourced from the winery's estate, and everything is harvested by hand in the traditional manner. The best Raboso grapes are kept for use in the cru designations of Potesta and Malanotte, and the latter are subjected to the medieval winemaking techniques so famous in Venetian winemaking - an extended period of Appassimento prior to pressing combined with a multi-year aging period different oak casks. The ensuing wines are rich, opulent, and incredibly complex.
