The “Durante’s Farm” lies in the north-west of the zone known as “Piave DOC”, in the Province of Treviso. This area owns its exceptional development to the efforts and constant interaction with the territory and its natural resources.
The area of the Piave DOC covers a vast plain that is confined to the south by the sea, to the north-west by the hills of Conegliano and Montello, its length crossed by the Piave river, whilst to the north-east it borders on the region of Friuli.
The names of great wines are linked to the Piave river, due to the favourable composition of the surrounding land, ideal for growing magnificent vines. Each wine is produced with the same dedication, respecting the ancient laws of nature though with a modern twist.
In this long-lasting wine-making tradition area you find “Durante’s farm”, a small family-owned winery located at the foot of Montello, run by the father Lino and both sons Ivano and Michele. The “Durante’s farm” is an 18 hectars land also called “Le Spinee” which has been adopted as logo of “Durante’s farm”. Further 1500 sq. metres of property are dedicated to the winery and are used as equiment shed. “Le Spinee” derives its name from a place originally (400-600 AD) inhabited by monks and later abandoned. In this plot of land started to grow wild prickly bushes and brambles, therefore the Italian for “spine”, “Le Spinee”.
Now this part of land has become a lush wine estate where, in the aim of pursuing the tradition handed down by their grandfather and their father, both Ivano and Michele joined the organic agriculture since 1998.
