Cheers to a Female- Owned Winery

Piera Martellozzo is a winemaking force to be reckoned with, both in Italy and abroad. Her vision and tenacity run in the family. Piera’s grandfather, Giovanni Martellozzo, founded the winery in 1899 in Camposampiero, near Padua in Italy’s northeastern region. Now, three generations later, she has grown the group to include three brands— Blu Giovello, Piera 1899, and Martellozzo— with a singular goal: to honour her family’s legacy by producing the highest quality wine possible.

Our Merlot Tells a Story

Group Martellozzo’s Terre Magre wines come from Italy’s Friuli Grave area, grown on the dried-out floodplains of mountain streams. Though the land can be challenging, its gravelly sand produces a mineral-rich wine that highlights the terroir in a unique way. Terre Magre Merlot from Piera 1899 has sweet, delicate tannins and low acidity, and pairs well with white or dark meats—ideal for a variety of holiday meals.

“We are privileged to be able to devote ourselves body and soul to creating sparkling and stylish wines that are a pleasure for the tastebuds, the hands, and the eyes.”

– Piera Martellozzo, Wine Creator
