1908 Nero di Gio Rosso d’Italia

The name Cielo e Terra (literally Sky and Land, or Heaven and Earth) recreates a perfect marriage, where Heaven is represented by the family of the same name and the Land is identified with the expert hands of the winegrower partners working in the vineyards that yield these wines.

Since 1908 the Family has been delivering great quality wines. This is a tribute to the founders with a new Premium and Super Premium collection, aimed to challenge the most renowned Super Venetian wines and to create new signature blends.
1908 is not only the year of the foundation but it represents also the spirit of an age of enthusiasm after the Great Depression. Innovation and creativity were bringing new light and hope in the future, on the front door of the «Belle Époque».

A tribute to the founder Giovanni Cielo who bought a small estate just in front of the Romeo & Juliet Castles in the heart of Veneto. Originally, in that area, the wines were mostly blends of different regions, hence the decision to revamp the same path to combine richness of southern Italy with fruitiness of the North, obtaining a new original Prestige red blend. It is called «Nero» (Black) as Giovanni refers to a rich red wine. Powerful and concentrated with notes of cherry, blackberry and hints of cinnamon, tobacco and licorice.
