Vi.V.O. Cantine S.a.c. - Cantina di Portogruaro
Results validated by Valoritalia
Since the first half of the last century, the wines produced in the Portogruaro area, despite the intrinsic quality of the grapes from which they were derived, were no longer able to meet market demand or ensure adequate compensation for producers, since production did not fully meet commercial needs, requiring large quantities of wine of excellent and consistent quality.
After years of economic difficulties, debates, resulting from conflicting views, as well as prejudices, and driven by the increasingly difficult conditions of the wine market, in 1951, a group of farmers from the district formed the Society called "Cantina Sociale di Lison-Portogruaro", a Limited Liability Cooperative Society, based in Portogruaro. The choice of its location fell on an extremely favorable location, which was located in the center of the wine-growing area on which it stood and responded to the best needs for roads and trade.
And it was precisely in this area, following a tradition of promoting the territory, that a panorama of native vineyards developed in order to protect and defend its precious and rich heritage.
For all these reasons, the Portogruaro Winery represents a vital and dynamic entity in Eastern Veneto, which resolutely pursues a high level of quality, respecting the principles of sustainability and responsibility that have always characterized its history.
