In life, there are decisions that seem to delineate a before and after. Just ask Lorenzo Zanella, who, after concluding a long and successful career in the industrial sector with dignity, decided to pivot his professional journey by 180 degrees. His new direction? An ancient real estate property in Castelcucco, in the charming province of Treviso, just a stone's throw from the picturesque town of Asolo.
But it wasn't merely about purchasing land. What Lorenzo had in mind was a true transformation: converting an estate into a vinicultural gem. Thus, Tenuta Costeselle was born, a prestigious winery nestled in the heart of the Asolo hills, a region blessed by nature and renowned for producing one of Italy's enological treasures: Prosecco Superiore Asolo DOCG.
From the outset, the commitment was clear: no shortcuts. Rigour, passion, and respect for the land would be the cornerstones of the new venture. And although challenges soon arose, Zanella and his team spared no effort. In record time, the winery was impeccably structured, blending tradition and innovation in a symphony that honours every bubble of the wine they produce.
At Tenuta Costeselle, every decision seems to speak of a philosophy oriented towards sustainability and excellence. The star of the house, the Tenuta Costeselle Asolo Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut, is a true homage to that vision. The glera grapes, cultivated in clay-limestone soils following organic practices, are handpicked, one by one, as if each cluster were a jewel. The winemaking process, precise and meticulous, is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Nothing is left to chance; everything aims to preserve the freshness, elegance, and identity of the region. The second fermentation, following the charmat method, is the final touch that transforms this prosecco into a unique sensory experience: fine perlage, sparkling freshness, and a character that captivates from the first sip.
Tenuta Costeselle Asolo Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut is living proof that dreams can be cultivated, harvested, and bottled. Lorenzo Zanella embarked on a new beginning and, with hard work and heart, turned it into a success story that proudly bubbles in every glass.
