Producer profile

Paolo Fasolo

Agricola Fasolo Paolo, established in 1972 by Paolo Fasolo's grandfather, is a natural wine producer in Rovolon (Padua), on the north side of the Euganean Hills Natural Park in Veneto. The estate spans 4.5 hectares, comprising 3 hectares of vineyards and the remainder dedicated to olive trees and woodlands. The winery itself is immersed within the vineyards.

This estate cultivates a diverse range of grape varieties, including Glera, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Corbinello, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, with most plants aged between 15 and 40 years. The vineyards, predominantly on the north side of the Euganean Hills, benefit from steep slopes of marly and limestone soil, known locally as Biancone and red flake.

Since 2019, the vineyards have been managed naturally and are certified organic. The approach to viticulture involves low doses of copper and sulfur, along with macerated or fermented natural products, ensuring minimal intervention. In the winemaking process, nothing is added or removed from the grape juice; this includes avoiding temperature control, yeasts, sulfurs, or any other interventions.

Wine region

Veneto, Italy

Located in north-eastern Italy, Veneto boasts a deep-rooted history that extends from its early days under the Roman Empire, transitioning through the influential Republic of Venice, and later becoming part of the Austrian Empire until its annexation to the Kingdom of Italy in 1866. This historical legacy positions Veneto as a significant region in Italy's cultural and viticultural narratives.

Geographically smaller than some of Italy's renowned wine-producing regions like Piedmont and Tuscany, Veneto is, nonetheless, the country's top wine producer. Its terroir is varied, with distinct geographical zones each offering unique climatic and soil conditions. To the northwest, the alpine foothills border Lake Garda, while the eastern region hosts Valpolicella, renowned for its red wines. Further east lies Soave, Gambellara, and the Colli Euganei region near Padua, known for distinct white varietals. The region spans 90,000 hectares, with 35,400 hectares designated as DOC. Notably, the last two decades have seen an increasing interest in organic and natural wine practices in Veneto.

In Veneto, the spectrum of wines is broad, with a focus on both red and white varietals. Red wines prominently feature grapes such as Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, essential for producing the celebrated Amarone, Ripasso, and Recioto wines. On the white wine front, Garganega is the foundation of Soave, exhibiting characteristics of citrus and almond, while Glera, previously known as Prosecco, forms the base for the eponymous sparkling wine. Pinot Grigio and Trebbiano di Soave further diversify the white wine portfolio. The synergy between Veneto's wines and its regional cuisine, ranging from seafood delicacies of the Adriatic to traditional dishes like bigoli pasta, underscores the region's rich gastronomic heritage.
