The CABERNET SAUVIGNON is the most widely grown grape variety at our estate in Venegazzù (50 km north of Venice), where it has been cultivated by the Loredan family for over a century now. With this wine, which we have been producing since the 1980s, we aim to showcase how easily it pairs with many of the everyday dishes in our cuisine. It is, in fact, a fresh and light wine, yet never mundane, as it fully reflects the character of our terroir; thanks also to partial ageing in large oak casks, its complexity is enhanced. The quest for the highest quality, undertaken by the Loredan Gasparini Winery, is epitomised in this very wine.

The CAPO DI STATO was originally created as a “Venegazzù Superiore” by “della Casa”; following its initial launch, it was frequently served at official dinners hosted by the City of Venice, to the extent that by the 1960s it could count amongst its admirers various heads of state, to whom it thus owes its name. Created by Count Loredan, it is made from a selection of grapes, in particular those from an old vineyard dating back to 1946 known as the "Vigna delle 100 piante" situated in Venegazzù (TV), where the Montello terroir (50 km north of Venice) lends it a truly unique character. It is a consistently original wine, deep and warm in colour, with an intense bouquet rich in aromas of wild berries and spices. Full-bodied and substantial, with soft tannins, it is persuasive and endlessly complex on the palate. A blend, therefore, with a strong personality, never reduced to the banal fruit/oak formula, which always expresses itself with remarkable aromatic originality and a distinctively robust flavour, so much so that it has been described as an "icon of the Bordeaux-style blend". As a token of gratitude to Charles de Gaulle, who praised this wine as a Bordeaux, the artist Tono Zancanaro was commissioned to create two special labels to be sent as a gift to the presidential couple: one dedicated to Yvonne, featuring the figure of a man with the inscription "des roses pour madame", whilst the one for her husband depicts a woman with the words "…et pour Monsieur la Bombe".

FALCONERA is the name of one of the most beautiful vineyards in Venegazzù, in the Alta Marca Trevigiana, where the legendary Count Loredan, one of the figures who shaped the history of wine worldwide, once loved to hunt with his falcons. The Falconera vineyard is uniquely beautiful, where the classical style of a splendid Palladian villa provides the backdrop to a marvellous vineyard of Merlot and Malbec. It is a wine that immediately captivates with its brilliant ruby red colour and its typical varietal aromas, ranging from the inviting fruity notes of cherry, plum and fresh raspberry to delicate hints of tobacco and graphite.

The VENEGAZZU’ is Count Loredan’s historic wine, recognised internationally as one of the first high-quality wines produced in Italy; its first vintage, from 1951, is also believed to have been the first Italian Bordeaux-style blend. It is the full expression of the Venegazzù terroir, in the Alta Marca Trevigiana region north of Venice. Created in the 1950s as the result of a meticulous selection of the estate’s finest grapes, it has always represented an original and pioneering approach to blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, where the wonderful freshness of Venegazzù’s iron-rich soils lends a natural elegance. A specific sub-zone, Venegazzù, was even created within the Montello DOC for this unique wine – a truly rare occurrence amongst Italian wine appellations. A wine of great intensity and elegance, it masterfully combines a ‘substantial’ structure with the estate’s winemaking tradition.
