History
Founded in 1987 by an old family of winemakers, Paolo and Giorgio Polegato’s Astoria prides itself on the quality of its products.
Astoria products are served in the most exclusive restaurants, wineries and bars.
Astoria sells wines produced at its own “Val De Brun Estate” in Refrontolo, in the heart of the DOCG zone Conegliano – Valdobbiadene.
Forty acres, located in one of the most beautiful wine-growing areas in Italy, renowned for its climate, highlight the harmonious succession of hills and vineyards.
The Company links its name to the product par excellence of the winemaking tradition in Veneto: the PROSECCO; this wine, the Millesimato, was awarded several prizes over the years, including the prestigious Grand Gold Medal at the International Wine Competition at Vinitaly in Verona. Prosecco Millesimato Docg and Refrontolo Passito Docg are the house jewels.
Astoria is not just Prosecco though, as it also produces barrique wines such as Colli di Conegliano Docg, Crevada and Croder, relying on the competence and skills of its highly professional staff.

TECHNOLOGY
The grapes, slightly over-mature, are harvested by hand and dried on bamboo racks for approx. 3 months. In mid- Decemberthey are crushed and left to ferment in contact with the grape skins, stalks and pips for approx. 2/3 days. The fermentation process is stopped before its natural end in order to obtain a wine with a high content of sugar residues. In Spring it is bottled and is then allowed to age for several months.

Colour: intense ruby with violet reflections.
Bouquet: delicate and characteristic, scented with a strong flavour of marasca cherry and berries.
Taste: sweet, velvety, with a full body, harmonious, savoury with a taste of blackberry and other berries.
🏅 Vintage 2015 Vinous 92 points：
Deep inky-ruby. Blackberry jam, dark cherry nectar and blueberry pie aromas and flavors are complicated by hints of dark chocolate and aromatic herbs. Closes long and juicy, with a very refined quality (120g/L r.s and 6.5/L total acidity) and a hint of grape jelly. A lovely sweet red wine that is at once light on its feet but rich and concentrated. The Marzemino grapes are air-dried naturally for about 90 days. Handles its 14% alcohol well.
