Label / history
Cielo e Terra was founded in 1908. Its name combines terra, Italian for earth, with Cielo, the surname of the founding family. In 1930, under Pietro Cielo, the company began expanding and improving its production; new vineyards were established and output increased in 1962. The winery is now led by the fourth-generation brothers Luca and Pierpaolo Cielo. It is described as one of the largest producers in the Veneto region, with around 300 hectares of land.
Cielo e Terra belongs to the Gruppo Cantine Colli Berici (The Colli Berici Group of Cellars), which has around 4,000 hectares of vineyards and where most of the company's wines are made. With the group's winemakers, it takes part in a project to improve production and agriculture across the Berici Hills, from vineyard to bottle.
The Colli Berici are a series of ancient volcanic formations between Verona and Padua. The climate is very mild and sunny, similar to the Mediterranean, and grapes have been grown there for thousands of years.
