MOGLIANO. The last mile of Prosecco Treviso Doc, literally a stone’s throw from Mestre, in a terroir historically dominated by completely different crops, it has seen an intense and partly unprecedented enological activity flourish in the last ten years. This is how the young “made in Mogliano” bubbles are born, triggering new investments and starting to gradually transform the approach to the territory.
The most recent label that is making itself known is the one managed by the Scaramuzza family, Friends Moroccan, and is located right on the banks of the Dese river, the watercourse that defines both the borders of the Marca with the municipality of Venice, and those of the Treviso DOC. Just two weeks ago the new company store was inaugurated.
To them are added the Green picket, in the Ghetto area, the company Donai in via Torni and, going up towards the capital, in the municipality of Preganziol there are then Barollo Winery e Via Regia. In this brief excursus Two other experiences must finally be mentioned.
Many producers in this area confer their Glera grapes in the historic social cellar of Terraglio, which after the wedding with that of Vazzola, exactly one year ago, contributes to the production of the prestigious wine “brand” with the brand “The brand”.
Then there is the case of the wines of “Roncade Castle“Of Baron Ciani Bassetti, who also have a production site in via Bianchi, also in Mogliano, in what was once the tenancy of the” Duca di Casalanza “, another winery, launched in the early 2000s, a stone’s throw from Villa Bianchi, along the Terraglio, from the heirs of Baron de Kunkler and which can be considered as one of the first “blazon” labels in the area bordering Mestre.
In the end, within a few years, step by step, the induced Prosecco arrived here too, 50 and more kilometers away from the vineyards of the foothills. In these lowland lands, the vintage photos highlight how the cultivation of the vine is still a tradition.
Around the inhabited center of Mogliano extended entire plantations of fruit trees, especially peaches and apples, interspersed with vineyards. However, the most common varieties in these latitudes were Merlot and Verduzzo. Now, inevitably, goes above all the glera vine, the fundamental raw material for making prosecco.
It thus happens that in the world of Treviso bubbles, in addition to the traditional and iconic heroic viticulture, linked to the landscape and traditions of the Unesco hills, a new phenomenon has emerged in recent years, a “border” enology.
The young rows on the land of via Marocchesa
It is precisely from here that Michele Scaramuzza, patron of Marocchesa wines with his brothers Simone and Alessio speaks to us: “Our family has been making wine for three generations” he explains “we are originally from Tessera and for some years we have started this new adventure in Mogliano”.
The first vintage labeled Vini Marocchesa is 2018. Prosecco brut, extradry and surlie are produced. But on the total 10 hectares planted with vineyards there is also space for the reds of the local tradition: Merlot, Carmenere and Raboso. Furthermore, in these border lands, the Treviso DOC prosecco is intertwined with another “very young” denomination.
At the end of via Marocchesa, Pinot Grigio doc delle Venezie is also produced, with a sparkling version that is very popular with consumers and which has also obtained important awards. Treviso or Venice the important thing is that it is sparkling, like the market.
