Orto di Venezia

Lagoon terroir, Venetian heritage, and rare island wines

Located on the island of Sant’Erasmo, in the Venetian lagoon, Orto di Venezia is a unique wine project that reflects one of the most unusual and fascinating terroirs in Italy. Surrounded by water and shaped by saline soils, constant breezes, and a delicate ecosystem, the vineyard expresses a rare balance between land and sea.
The project is rooted in a deep respect for the environment and the historical identity of Venetian agriculture. Sant’Erasmo, traditionally known as the “garden of Venice”, provides a distinctive context where viticulture coexists with nature in a fragile and highly characteristic landscape. The vineyards are cultivated in conditions unlike any other, where saline influence, humidity, and light reflections from the lagoon contribute to wines with freshness, minerality, and a subtle aromatic complexity. Careful vineyard management is essential to preserve balance and to adapt to the unique challenges of the environment. In the cellar, the philosophy is based on precision and restraint, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes and terroir to emerge clearly. The goal is to maintain purity, elegance, and a strong sense of place. Orto di Venezia wines represent a rare expression of Venetian wines — saline, elegant, and terroir-driven — where lagoon identity and craftsmanship come together to create wines of uniqueness and character.
