A World Heritage
landscape

The Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019, are our home. This is where Glera can best express its distinctive traits: freshness and aromatic character. Being in Valdobbiadene, at the heart of the DOCG denomination and precisely in the Riva di San Pietro di Barbozza, allows us to create wines with a strong identity, the expression of a unique climate, mineral soils and the care we devote to our vineyards every day.

A winery built with the same care as the vineyard

In 2019 we chose to buy this property and turn it into the production hub of Rivaluce.  With the support of engineers and architects, the old disused warehouse became a design-led winery: eco-friendly materials, efficient systems and spaces dedicated to production, sparkling wine making and storage.
The vineyard was restored and enhanced with the terracing typical of the UNESCO Prosecco Hills.

KEEP INNOVATING WHILE STAYING CLOSE TO NATURE

CHOOSING SUSTAINABILITY EVERY DAY

The certifications and programmes we take part in to protect the vineyard, the land and biodiversity

CONSORZIO DI TUTELA DEL CONEGLIANO VALDOBBIADENE PROSECCO SUPERIORE DOCG

Rivaluce has always been a member of the Consorzio di Tutela del Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, one of the oldest consortia in Italy, which since 1962 has brought together and promoted the growers and producers of Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG.

NATIONAL QUALITY SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATED PRODUCTION

Integrated pest management comes from an idea of sustainable farming: respect for the environment, for the vine and for people. From vineyard to cellar, every action, even the smallest, follows a protocol designed to favour agronomic practices over chemicals.

THE CONSORTIUM’S OLD VINES PROJECT

Our Centa vineyard is home to vines over 80 years old that are still productive. Together with the Consortium, we take part in a scientific genetic mapping project to preserve this historic heritage and bring biodiversity back to the hills.

ASSOCIATION FOR THE HERITAGE OF THE PROSECCO HILLS OF CONEGLIANO AND VALDOBBIADENE

In 2019, after a process that began in 2008, the site “The Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene” was inscribed on the World Heritage List. In January 2020 the Association was founded to protect and promote a landscape known all over the world.
