Giovanni Martellozzo established the winery in 1899 in Veneto region, Italy. His son Mario, a very skilled winemaker, made it well known and appreciated on the Italian and foreign market. In 1992, Mario, soon after his retirement, leaves the entire management to his 29-year-old daughter, Piera. Ever since then, Piera has become the testimonial and reference point, on the national and international wine scenery and the company's name changes from “Vinicola Martellozzo” into "Piera Martellozzo 1899".
In 2001, the company expanded with a new branch in San Quirino, in the far north-eastern corner of Italy, in the region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, between Venice, the capital of art and culture, and the spectacular Dolomites mountains. It is from then on, that Piera constantly focuses on creating new wines in order for them to be confronted with all the best wines in the world. The Friuli DOC area is a gravelly region with a unique terroir, characterized by an ample stony surface which increases the temperature range between day and night, this aspect promotes the cultivation of particularly aromatic grapes and perfumed and elegant wines. Piera commitment is to maintain and carry on the traditions and family values, with enthusiasm and dedication to their customers, while remaining faithful to the reputation created by the company in time.
