TERRE DI RAI
Veneto, Italy
Sandra De Giusti, with her 3 sons, is the owner of Terre di Rai. The winery is located on the left side of the Piave river in Treviso’s province, in the heart of Veneto region, between Venice and the Dolomites.
Sandra De Giusti isn’t scared by challenges. She has promptly undertaken the route that finally led her to the realisation of a dream: working together with her sons and sharing with them a passion that is the grape vine cultivation and the production of great wines.
This passion has been handing down from one generation to another, and it’s exactly the same one that, even now, is marking the work in the vineyards of this old farmer-rooted family. The lands are those that in the past belonged to the ancient aristocratic families of the area and that have been made fertile and fruitful by its farmers’ arms. Now it’s Sandra, supported by her sons, the custodian of these limitless estates, embroidered by native varieties, on the left side of the Piave river in Treviso’s province.

Region & Vineyard Notes
The controlled denomination of origin “Prosecco”, obtained in 2009, is reserved to wines, that satisfy conditions and requirements defined in the relevant disciplinary of production, in defense of specific features of quality hailing from the uniqueness of a territory historically suited to Prosecco.
The temperate climate of this area is caused by different factors: the natural protection of the Alps up north, the action of the Adriatic Sea down south with the hot wind Sirocco and the precious summer rains, the heavy temperature ranges between day and night, the easterly dry summer-end wind Bora and the alluvial ground composition of clay and slime with high levels of minerals and microelements. All these elements and the good drainage of lands create the ideal environment to cultivate suitable varieties for Prosecco production.
