Our History

A History of Family and Love for the Territory

The roots of Dal Maso Winery lie deep in the hills of Montebello Vicentino. Here, at the end of the 19th century, great-grandfather Serafino began an extraordinary journey guided by a love for the land and viticulture. Since then, this unbreakable bond has been handed down intact from generation to generation, transforming artisanal wisdom into excellence appreciated worldwide.

The decisive turning point came in the 1960s with Luigino Dal Maso, who instilled a modern vision in the company: he expanded the vineyards in the most suitable areas of Gambellara and the Colli Berici, paving the way to international markets. Today, that same dedication flows in the veins of the fourth generation: Nicola, Silvia, and Anna lead the winery with the pioneering spirit of its founders, combining the precious family heritage with the most advanced and sustainable winemaking techniques.

Custodians of three territories of excellence — Colli Berici, Gambellara, and Monti Lessini — we take care of every step from the vine to the bottle. We believe that quality comes from a profound respect for nature and the transparency of our choices. For this reason, every Dal Maso wine is not just the fruit of the earth, but the living story of the dreams, sacrifices, and harmony of a family united for over a century.

The Winery

Harmony between Architecture and Territory

The Dal Maso Winery headquarters in Montebello Vicentino is conceived as a natural extension of the hilly landscape that hosts it. Characterized by an iconic circular plan, the structure dialogues harmoniously with the surrounding environment, reducing its visual impact and integrating perfectly with it. The project develops vertically on three floors, organized according to a logic that combines the rigorous needs of wine production with the warmth of hospitality.

In the lower levels, the winemaking rooms and the silent underground barrel cellars offer ideal conditions of temperature and humidity for the aging of red wines in French oak barrels and for the maturation of our iconic Classic Method sparkling wines. In the upper level, organized as a traditional attic, the winery houses the drying area dedicated to Garganega for the production of sweet wines, as well as the French oak barrels for the long rest, up to 15 years, of our Vin Santo.

The true visual centerpiece of the building is the spectacular central helical staircase: a sculptural element that connects the three levels, guiding the guest through the various spaces of the structure. On the upper floor, large windows open the tasting room and hospitality spaces to the outside, offering a spectacular panoramic view. Made with materials that recall the Venetian rural tradition reinterpreted in a contemporary key — such as exposed brick, wood, and iron — the winery is a manifesto of order, cleanliness, and efficiency, where architecture becomes the first calling card of Dal Maso excellence.

The Territory

The Vineyards of Dal Maso Winery

The identity of Dal Maso Winery stems from an extraordinary viticultural heritage, consisting of 30 hectares of property strategically distributed in three different historical areas of the province of Vicenza. This targeted fragmentation allows the family to interpret three unique terroirs, each characterized by profoundly different soils, microclimates, and solar exposures.

The agronomic heart is the historic hills of Gambellara, the family's homeland and the cradle of Garganega. Here, the vines sink their roots into purely volcanic soils, rich in black basalt and minerals, elements that instill in white wines a marked sapidity, freshness, and longevity.

Moving southwest into the Colli Berici — and in particular in the municipalities of Lonigo and Alonte — the owned vineyards thrive on clayey-calcareous slopes of marine origin. This area, caressed by a mild and sunny climate, represents the ideal environment for the cultivation of great red grape varieties, first of all the native Tai Rosso, alongside international varieties of choice such as Merlot and Cabernet. Finally, the drive towards altitude and freshness finds maximum expression in the vineyards located on the Monti Lessini. In this mountainous area, characterized by strong temperature variations and cold winds, the Dal Maso family cultivates the Durella grape, preserving the acidity and mineral energy necessary to create vibrant Classic Method sparkling wines of great personality.

"Splendid winery of renowned vines. The owner, Nicola, will be able to welcome you and transport you into the story of the birth and growth of the winery, born from his great-grandfather and which became in a few years, of national and foreign interest (they export to Brazil, North America and China). Splendid is the underground barriques area, accompanied by a monumental staircase. The history and winemaking technique will make you savor the good wines, even before tasting them. Relaxing tasting area (19 production lines) starting from the local white, passing through the durello, ending with the reds, tasting accompanied by local soppressa and asiago cheeses. A must try."

★★★★★

"The visit to the Dal Maso Winery is an unmissable experience for those who cultivate the passion for wine and the flavors of the Italian tradition. Accompanied by a very knowledgeable guide, you enter a very welcoming environment: the grape drying area for the production of vinsanto and recioto is very fascinating; the part of the cellar dedicated to production according to the classic method and the refinement of wine in barrels is surprising. Once the visit is over, you can treat yourself to a wine tasting in an elegant room with large windows overlooking the vineyards: among the various proposals, I personally really appreciated the pairing of a Recioto di Gambellara and a semi-hard blue and aged cheese."
