Castello Di Roncade

Castello di Roncade is a remarkable example of Renaissance architecture situated in the Veneto countryside, between Treviso and Venice. Originally built on the ruins of a 10th-century castle gifted by Emperor Otto II, it was reconstructed in the 16th century by Girolamo Giustinian, a Venetian aristocrat. The castle, unique for its pre-Palladian design and medieval walls, has a rich history tied to the Serenissima Republic of Venice.

The Baroni Ciani Bassetti family, with deep agricultural roots in Trentino, took ownership of the property in the early 20th century. They revitalized the estate with architectural restorations and the replanting of vineyards. Baron Tito Ciani Bassetti chose the Castello as the home for a winemaking venture, recognizing the land's historical connection to viticulture dating back to Roman times. Today, the winery, managed by Vincenzo Ciani Bassetti, surrounds the castle, reflecting the family's continued dedication to both the vineyard and cellar, preserving and enhancing this extraordinary estate.

The vineyards of Castello di Roncade span 110 hectares, characterized by a unique terroir with clay soils layered with ancient "caranto" sediment, just a few inches below the surface. This soil composition, combined with a favorable microclimate, contributes to the production of high-quality wines—fragrant whites and full-bodied reds. The family's commitment to excellence is evident in their prestigious wines, which continue the noble tradition of the Venetian Doges. With modern facilities in Mogliano Veneto, the winery ensures top-tier production standards, meeting global demand for their award-winning wines.
