The Prosecco grape is native to the Veneto region in northeast Italy and produces a popular sparkling wine that is also called Prosecco. Light, crisp and softly sparkling, this wine makes an excellent aperitif and pairs well with many different foods. Il Faggeto, founded in the 1950s by Egidio Montagner, is well known for its delicious Prosecco wines. A family operation located in the town of Motta di Livenza in the Veneto, this prestigious winery is now run by Egidio’s grandchildren, who continue their grandfather’s mission to produce wines of great quality through the unification of a deep love of the region and extreme care in viticulture and vinification methods. The use of new refinement techniques for grape processing in combination with innovative enological technology have been important to the great success of the sparkling wines produced by Il Faggeto.
