THE COMPANY

Villa Minelli was born in 2006 from the desire to vinify on its own the grapes of the vineyards of three Venetian Villas located in the Treviso villages of Ponzano and Villorba. After the first years of testing the local vines and the “individual terroirs”, with 2012 the journey begins. Fresh, IMMEDIATE wines, but above all children of their land, interpreted by a team of young and talented oenologists and agronomists. The great peculiarity of this company is that a part of the vineyards, as well as the cellar, are within a large property where there are warehouses and logistics depots of a large manufacturing company. The other vineyards are also planted in special places, as they are an integral part of the park of three beautiful Venetian Villas. This does not prevent the production of high quality grapes from which we obtain wines, capable in the reds of good ageing, as in the case of Merlot Vecchie Vigne, and therefore perfect ambassadors of the Marca Trevigiana.
