LA VIGNA DEL NESPOLO

Luisa Bortolomiol

Born in Valdobbiadene, Luisa Bortolomiol defines herself as a second-generation winemaker: the daughter of a winemaker. However, Luisa didn’t devote herself to the world of winemaking from the start. In keeping with her free spirit and desire for independence she started her career as a lawyer and honed her skills outside the family's sparkling wine business. But the voice of her ancestors was strong so she gave up her career and went to work in the family sparkling wine business for over ten years before setting up her own winery producing organic Prosecco. Luisa is a keen nature lover, outdoor enthusiast, and great believer in the simple pleasure of spending quality time in good company. She believes that the international passion for Valdobbiadene Docg Prosecco can only be enhanced by her range of organic wines, which will also provide future generations with a superior land filled with authenticity and clean, fragrant air.

Filippo Taglietti

agronomist

Filippo Taglietti was born in 1975. He is an oenologist, agronomist and naturalist, and combines decades of experience in Prosecco production with a passion for innovative and sometime unusual means of bringing out the soul of the vineyard so it can be understood in the glass, and appreciated for its individuality. He is an expert in plant protection techniques and sustainable strategies for the protection and cultivation of grapevines. He teaches on brown and green pruning techniques and is heavily influenced by his passion for his work and his constant search for the new.

Taglietti describes the emotion of his relationship with nature as being a form of self-awareness of his own exploratory process: "This convinces me that techniques and science, combined with experience, go together to make a true winemaker aware of the energy that surrounds nature and its forces. An unwritten law fascinates me and rather neatly describes my place in the Vigna del Nespolo project: This is the 'parsimony' that pervades nature and that dominates the complexity of natural processes, finding actuation in the simplicity and dynamic consequence of events. These latter are controlled so that no resource is wasted as each step in the process has been foreseen."
