PERLAGE WINERY

Our mission is to provide an innovative alternative to traditional viticulture by bringing superior-quality wines to market—wines produced through organic and sustainable practices. We are committed to integrating sustainability into every aspect of our business, aspiring to be a benchmark for organic excellence in the wine industry while striving to make a positive impact on the environment and our local community.

In tending our vineyards, we aim to showcase the full potential of indigenous grape varieties, carefully selecting the specific vine based on soil characteristics, moisture levels, and sun exposure. Similarly, we choose our grape suppliers based on a shared philosophy that prioritizes vineyard care and a love for the environment.For us at Perlage, the Glera grape is fundamental. It is an indigenous variety—cultivated on the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene since the early 19th century—that serves as the basis for Prosecco DOCG.

Since our inception, thanks to the vision of Claudio, Dino, and Ivo Nardi, our company has pioneered the research and development of new methods aimed at improving every stage of the production process. In 1985, we were the first to experiment with organic viticulture, and we have since dedicated ourselves tirelessly to research and innovation in the wine sector. Our achievements over the years include the first sulfite-free Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, vegan certification for the entire Perlage product range, a reduction in sulfite usage, the first biodynamic Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, and the world’s first *Metodo Classico* (traditional method) sparkling wine made from Incrocio Manzoni grapes in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region. Just as we tend to our vineyards, we also carefully handle the raw material during cellar operations—from vinification to the production of sparkling wine—in order to enhance its natural characteristics. Winemaker Andrea Gallina has been the artisan behind Perlage wines for over twenty years, expertly overseeing every step to transform the grapes into elegant, refined, and delightful wines that serve as a natural expression of our terroir.The passion and care that come to life in Andrea’s hands are further evidenced by his appointment as a *Cavaliere di Valdobbiadene* and his active participation in the *Confraternita di Valdobbiadene*.
