Paladin

The winery was started by Valentino Paladin in 1962 in Motta di Livenza, near Treviso. It’s located at the boundaries of the Venetian land where he moved in the mid-70s in Annone Veneto, a historic village located in the Roman Postumia road.

Passion, research, dedication and respect for traditions are the main values that have been guiding his philosophy since he created his own cellar. He was strongly determined to enhance the territorial typicality of the Lison-Pramaggiore area by producing excellent wines.
Such values have naturally been transmitted to his son and uncle, staying by his side and creating with him this fantastic reality that is now passionately involving also a third generation comprised of Francesca Paladin, the proprietor, and her siblings and cousins.

The wines are the product of lands rich in natural elements, history, traditions and ancient cultures. It’s the area that extends between Veneto and Friuli, along the Postumia road, built by the Roman Consul Postumio Albino in the II century A.D. in order to join the two major Roman ports of north Italy by land, Genua and Aquileia; in this land different cultures have been merging congruously.
The Latin writer and philosopher Plinio Il Vecchio describes this area as an immensely large vineyard, from whose ports the Roman ships sailed with their cargo full of wine amphorae heading towards Rome.
In the V century A.D. the people who lived here, in order to escape from the Barbarian invasions of the Huns, founded Venice.
The vineyards are located in this important place, whose clay-limestone soil, the result of the last glaciation, is particularly suitable to the growing of international vines, because its minerals give the grapes a marked trait of typicality.
