Label / history
Cielo e Terra was founded in 1908. Its name combines terra, the Italian word for “earth,” with Cielo, the founding family’s surname. The company began expanding and improving production under Pietro Cielo in 1930, and established new vineyards in 1962. It is now led by fourth-generation brothers Luca and Pierpaolo Cielo and owns around 300 ha of land.
The winery belongs to Gruppo Cantine Colli Berici, whose members collectively cultivate around 4,000 ha of vineyards. Most Cielo e Terra wines are produced from these vineyards.
