About this wine

Vinification

Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures.

Label / history

The Albestro range is sold in screw-cap and Tetra Pak packaging.

Cielo e Terra was founded in 1908. Its name combines terra, meaning “earth,” with Cielo, the founding family’s surname. The company began expanding and improving production under Pietro Cielo in 1930; new vineyards were established in 1962, increasing production. Fourth-generation brothers Luca and Pierpaolo Cielo now run the winery, which has around 300 ha of land.

Cielo e Terra belongs to Gruppo Cantine Colli Berici. The group owns around 4,000 ha of vineyards, where most of the company’s wines are produced.
