Case Paolin

Veneto, Italy

Philosophy

Three brothers each command distinct vineyards: Diego oversees the Belvedere plain's grey stone terroir for mineral-driven base wines, Adelino directs cellars with single-minded focus on quality and innovation, while Mirco—trained in enology—brings technical precision to vine work. Col Fondo Prosecco, refermented in bottle without disgorgement, reveals the family's reverence for founder Emilio's ancestral method.

Reputation

The Pozzobon family's Case Paolin emerges from Montello's red-iron soils of the Veneto's Treviso province, where Emilio acquired the ancestral sharecropping lands in the early 1970s, transforming silkworm cultivation to viticulture. His three sons—Diego, Adelino, and Mirco—inherited not the vineyard's outline alone but a commitment to terroir and biological conviction ahead of its moment.

AllocationFounded year set to 1970 (early 1970s per sources). Emilio Pozzobon acquired estate in early 1970s; inherited by three sons in 1980s (not directly stated as 1980 inheritance but context implies ca. 1990). Organic certification 2012 by MIPAAFT verified from multiple sources. No US, UK, or Japan importer names found despite multiple searches; wine appears in US retailers (Wine.com, Vivino US) but through retail aggregators, not confirmed direct importer. Production ~70,000 bottles annually confirmed. Vineyard size 18 hectares confirmed. Website www.casepaolin.it verified operational. Vivino misclassifies location as Friuli-Venezia Giulia rather than Veneto (prefix-bug noted). Montello and Asolo Hills are two distinct production zones operated by the family. Signature wines span Prosecco (multiple styles), reds (Montello DOC, IGT), and white still wine. No biodynamic or regenerative certifications found; strictly organic_certified. Minimal sourcing ambiguity on succession—family remains in clear control with no transitioning signaled.
