Vini Ballancin was established in the 1960s when Lino Ballancin came home from a long stint of hard work in Switzerland and purchased some land from the Brandolini Counts. He had the foresight to cultivate vineyards, and now the winery is run by his sons Sergio and Antonio who have worked in the vineyards since childhood. Now, after studying at the Conegliano Oenological School and gaining experience through many years of hard work, the sons are proud to belong to this land of universally renowned wine and bubbly. Lino Vallancin was awarded the title of Cavaliere della Repubblica (the equivalent of a British knighthood) in 2012.
Wonderful as an important aperitif and as a celebration toast. It matches perfectly with fish appetisers, crustaceans and with both seafood and vegetables risottos.
