The Dal Bianco family has passionately devoted its energy to producing wine since 1946 in Veneto, Italy. For this family, being winemakers means passing on from generation to generation the continuous thrill of taking care of Mother Nature’s precious gifts. Masottina wines have their roots in the 280 hectares of vineyards acquired over the years by the family. Vine growing is the result of synergies between a constantly forward-looking approach and attention to origins, united by a common theme that enhances the different terroirs. These are the factors that inspire the entire vinification process, through to the final selection, to create well-balanced wines, sealed with the names of the locations they represent the most.
