Gianluca Bisol came across an old vineyard near Santa Maria Assunta, the oldest church in the area. After meeting its owner, Nicoletta, he began agronomic research in the vineyard and identified Dorona, one of the oldest native grape varieties. The 1966 flood had almost completely wiped out the variety, and only 88 vines survived.
