About Winery and Wines
The Tenute Tomasella winery is located near the village of Portobuffolè, in the lands of the noblewoman Gaia da Camino, the daughter of the “good Gherardo” mentioned in Dante’s Inferno. It has 30 hectares of vines in the DOC Friuli Grave area and the DOC Piave area, with 7 hectares in Friuli and 23 in Veneto. The winery is renowned for respecting traditions and the environment, and for its production of intriguing new wines that are unlike the typical wines of the area. The winery makes genuine excellent quality wines, with its unquestionable specialisation due to fifty years of experience and state-of-the-art winemaking principles, combined with a love of the land.
Mansuè is situated in Veneto, however, the vineyards of the Tenute Tomasella winery border with the DOC Grave area in Friuli. The winery estate covers 150 hectares in these two regions with 30 hectares (23 in Veneto and 7 in Friuli) under vines. The first wines made in Mansuè, an interesting line of Sparkling wines made according to the long Charmat method, were characterised by their pronounced effervescence. The path of change has recently led to the development of a line of wines from Friuli. The winery’s principles, however, have always remained the same, regardless of the geographical location of the vineyards, exploiting the best characteristics of its two “terroirs”.
