The word “kreda” comes from the local dialect and means clay, which is the main element of the soil where this vineyard is located. The clay gives the nourishing elements to the vines in a slow and constant way, giving them a natural balance. The wine refines for 24 months in barrique.

Tasting Characteristics: deep ruby colour, intense scents of ripe fruit, prunes, violet, with a rare elegance; full body, very important structure, with layers of velvety tannins and a wide spectrum of tertiary aroma.
Food Matching: ideal with risotto, roast meat and lamb chops.

About the winery

The De Stefani family originates in Refrontolo, a little hilly village in Veneto Italy. As results in official documents of 1624. In the second half of 1800 Valeriano De Stefani, the founder, individualized the best soil where to produce wines of rare indigenous territorial personality “thanks to the Caranto soil”, as is the Colvendrame estate in Refrontolo, on the hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, north of Venice, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Today Alessandro De Stefani “ fourth generation” follows his father Tiziano in producing wines that follows a very natural philosophy of sustainability by maintaining and preserving the growth of old healthy vines, planted by choice in very high-density vineyards, without the use of chemicals or animal products, and using only indigenous yeasts without additional sulphites in the process of making their wines, turning native varieties into a better expression of themselves.
