Ca' Bruzzo vineyard is located in the Vicenza Province of northeastern Italy, equidistant from Venice and Verona, in the beautiful Colli Berici Hills. Five varieties of grapes are grown on these lush hillside vineyards for a total production of no more than 20,000 bottles of wine.
The Bruzzo's carry out all aspects of winemaking personally. Aldo, his wife Sarah Wallace and son Alan began operating this small organic farm in 1985.
The character of these wines is created in the fields where each vine is hand trimmed by Aldo Bruzzo, lending his personal vision to the development of the fruit. This is the core philosophy of the Ca' Bruzzo vineyard tradition. The ongoing close physical contact with the vines, along with the particular "terroir", give these wines their unique character. The yields are kept very low, eco-compatible organic farming methods are used throughout the vineyards.

The microclimate is ideal, the hills are part of the pre-alps at the edge of the Po plain where ascending currents create windy conditions, maintaining the leaves dry and the grapes healthy.
No irrigation is used; as a result the roots are forced to grow deep to find moisture, adding to the character of the wine.
