The Company
Modeano is a small agricultural village on the western edge of the Riviera Friulana, situated halfway between Venice and Trieste. We have been cultivating vines here since 1982, but in May 2023, a new chapter began when Luca and Andrea Cisorio embarked on the exciting journey of managing the historic winery. They are dedicated to preserving the wisdom of the past while forging a path toward the future.
The cultivation of vineyards in this area, belonging to the centuriation of Aquileia, dates back to Roman times. The History of Modeano has a turning point with the purchase funded by Norberto Marzotto who gave life to a model company at the beginning of the twentieth century.
He was responsible for the relaunch of wine production and the construction of the cellar, the school and the church of the Madonna del Rosario.
The company headquarters is located in the Villa Bertuzzi-Ferrari and in the adjacent buildings, surrounded by a park full of centuries-old trees. The proprietary vineyards, covering an area of 32 hectares, surround the company headquarters. The vine rearing forms, Guyot or Silvoz, allows the formation of narrow and tidy foliage, through which air and light can pass freely.
