Borgoluce is one of the most ambitious and environmentally focused estates in Italy, owned and operated by sisters Caterina and Ninni Collalto, descendants of a noble family whose roots in Veneto date back more than 1,000 years. The Italian King Berengario II gave to Rambaldo, ancestor of the Collalto family, the area called Corte Lovadina. The Collalto family still owns this and the surrounding lands just 45 miles due north of Venice, the Collalto estate stretches from the hills of Susegana to the plains of Santa Lucia di Piave and as far as the municipality of Pieve di Soligo. Its 2,500 acres are home to animals such as horses, cattle, swine and sheep, with arable fields and hills marked by woodlands, castles, vineyards, agritourism and farmhouses.
The signs of history, culture and nature co-exist with farming practices that fully respect what is a centuries-long tradition passed down by the Collato family. Ninni and Caterina di Collalto, together with their mother Trinidad and Caterina’s husband, Lodovico Giustiniani, carry on the family traditions of overseeing a company diverse in agriculture. The company's philosophy is firmly rooted in sustainable farming methods. This means limiting environmental impact and reducing pesticides and creating energy through the use of renewable sources.
Elisa Confortin is the winemaker at Borgoluce. Elisa’s father, Luigi, has tended the estate’s vineyards since 1973. Elisa was born in 1975 and the Collalto estate is where she grew up. After graduating from Scuola Enologica G.B. Cerletti, Italy’s oldest and most famous school for enology, she returned to her roots and became the winemaker for Borgoluce.
Brilliant straw yellow with lively and persistent perlage. Hints of peach and yellow apple aromas, fruity and elegant. Appealing fresh acidity creates tanginess leading to a harmonious, refined finish.
