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.
PRODUCTION AREA
On the Astoria estate on hilly terrain at 120-150 m. s.l.m.
Vineyards oriented north-south and east-west with 4000/4500 vines per hectare with 8-15 years of age.
Average production of 1.5 / 2 kg per vine equal to 70/80 quintals per hectare
Grapes: precious varieties of red grapes.
Training system: Gujot.
TECHNOLOGY
The grapes are harvested by hand in small baskets in September / October.
A part of these (about 10%) is placed on racks for a 3-month withering; the remaining portion is de-stemmed and fermented with the skins for about 15/20 days at a temperature of 26/28 ° C. This is followed by the drawing off and the completion of the malolactic fermentation, all in steel containers.
The same procedure, once the withering is finished, is applied to the grapes laid on racks.
Once the cut has been completely reassembled, it is transferred to French Allier oak barrels with medium toasting, which is aged for 8/9 months, followed by bottling. The subsequent stop in the bottle will give consistency to the solid and authoritative character of this wine whose component of dried grapes will give all its character.
