From the historic wine estate of Fasol Menin: Set in the very heart of the gently rolling countryside of Valdobbiadene, the newest winery, Fasol Menin, takes its name from the nearby ancient fortified hamlet . In this area noted for its Prosecco grape vineyards, the husband and wife team of Silvana Curto and Massimo de Nardo (photo), with the winegrowers passion have long wanted to create a particular Spumante Valdobbiandene DOCG, the Fasol Menin, a sparkling wine that captivates wine lovers from first acquaintance. ……..to the new Winery for Prosecco Wines. One of the first goals achieved by the team was the production of the ‘signature wine’ of this territory. As well as employing state-of-the-art technology and expert knowledge, Massimo emphasised that the only way of guaranteeing the highest quality of wine is to vinify the harvested grapes immediately and personally supervise every stage of production to the finished Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOCG.
From the Valdobbiadene grape variety par excellence, the Prosecco of the Chameleon
The Fasol Menin Winery is housed in a purpose-built brick and timber building, designed and erected by the de Nardos. The choice of a chameleon as the logo for the winery is symbolic of the nature of the Prosecco and of the dramatic life-style changes made by Massimo and Silvana in pursuit of their dream. Prosecco is a versatile wine that is equally tantalising on the pallette as an aperitif or whether it is partnered with the main course or the sweet. The versatility and ability of Massimo and Silvana for rapid adaptation to changing circumstances has been amply demonstrated by their transition from successful careers in corporate consultancy and computer technology to the unpredictable and demanding world of wine making.
