, Val d’Oca – A pioneering Prosecco Superiore cooperative

Val d’Oca

With its collaboration of 600 winegrowers and 1,000 hectares of vineyard, Val d’Oca’s commitment to the region of Prosecco Superiore – both its people and its outstanding landscape – shines through in its outstanding wines. Guided but not constrained by tradition, the winery keeps pace with the times, representing the best of Prosecco in a diverse range of styles.

Central to the Val d’Oca ethos is a long-lasting, symbiotic relationship with its winegrowers. The winery offers a hands-on approach, to help maintain rigorous standards of grape quality by supporting growers year-round. Some of that support comes in the form of educational courses – offered in the classroom, online and in the vineyard – that focus on various aspects of vineyard management. The result of these collective efforts are grapes of the best quality, for which naturally, fair payment is made.

Responsibility for the future

Recognising the value of working in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way, Val d’Oca’s winery – built in 2011 – follows the principles of bio-architecture, using recycled materials wherever possible. Maintaining environmental consciousness, the winery sends grape stalks to a cogeneration plant to generate renewable energy, and the resulting marc (obtained from the distillation of pressed and fermented skins, seeds and stalks to produce a wine must) is reused in distillation. These constructive steps are indicative of the guiding principles that are at the heart of every decision made at Val d’Oca – highlighting how much the winery values its social and environmental impact.
