Producer profile

Sauro Maule

The farm “Il Cavallino” is located in the Colli Berici, the hills around the city of Vicenza, Veneto Region, Northern Italy. Sauro Maule's father, Lino, was a man with great experience and a love for horses and started the farm as a cattle breeding business. After Sauro took over, the farm expanded its activities to vine growing and winemaking. The old "pergola" vineyards were all replanted with new "guyot" vineyards, a trellising system that allows more oxygenation for the plants thereby reducing the need for treatments.

Sauro adopts a non-interventionist approach in the vineyard, he is not using any chemicals, herbicides or pesticides. In the cellar, he follows the principles of natural winemaking and uses sulfur dioxide only when needed and in very small quantities - sulfite content in Sauro's wine never exceeds 35 mg/l.

Wine region

Veneto, Italy

Veneto is one of the most important wine regions in Italy. It is located in the northeastern corner of the peninsula. It borders Trentino-Alto Adige (north), Friuli-Venezia Giulia (northeast), Emilia-Romagna (south), and Lombardy (west). Veneto's capital and most populous city is Venice, followed by Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, and Rovigo. The east coast of Lake Garda, the biggest Italian lake, is part of Veneto, as is the tract of Alpine foothills called Venetian Prealps.

Veneto is the leading Italian region for the quantity of wine produced, even though wine-producing regions such as Piedmont, Tuscany, Lombardy, Puglia, and Sicily all have bigger territories. Some of its most famous wines are Amarone della Valpolicella, Valpolicella, Soave, and Prosecco. Other less-known but equally delicious wines are Recioto della Valpolicella, Recioto di Gambellara, Raboso del Piave, and Bardolino.

Veneto's main characteristic is perhaps the great variety of wine types produced, obtained mostly from indigenous grape varietals – Corvina, Glera, and Garganega being the most common. This is due as much to its specific geography and climate as to rather peculiar winemaking techniques, such as the grape drying technique employed to make Amarone della Valpolicella, Veneto's most famous red wine.
