Our family

Bedin is rooted in over 70 years of winemaking tradition, which began when Giacomo Bedin purchased the estate in Cornuda and planted the first vineyard in 1948 to craft wine for family and friends.

A few decades after, his son Giovanni stood out as a pioneer of the local wine producers and ambassadors by helping establish the “Mostra del Vino” in Cornuda and planting more vines across several separate sites along the south-facing slopes of the Colli Asolani.

With the next generation taking the lead, Bedin drove a stake into what is now a world-class Italian DOCG wine region. While it was understood that good wines could be made, Enrico and his brothers Denis and Damiano felt that sparkling wines had significantly more potential and bet determinedly on Glera grapes by investing on new vineyards as well as winemaking equipment in order to make Prosecco our core production.

Since then, Bedin Prosecco has gone to achieve international acclaim, winning awards from prestigious competitions and finding its way to on-trade and off-trade distribution in over 30 countries around the world.

With a fourth generation now involved in the business, we stand out as a modern, expanding winery with ever growing commitment to raising quality and crafting delicious sparkling wines that capture the essence of the Asolo terroir, tradition and lifestyle.

Approach

Bringing together tradition and innovation with our dynamic spirit, we constantly evolve to maintain our position as one of Asolo’s pre-eminent family-owned wineries, producing Proseccos of the highest quality that showcase a truly robust sense of place.

With our own vineyards, pressing centre and winery, we proudly guide each step of the journey from vine to bottle. From assessing every parcel of grapes for quality, ripeness and character to secondary fermentation and the eventual bottling, every stage is done in-house with meticulous care and attention, under the supervision of family members and our experienced team.

Thanks to the closeness of our operation and its family nature, we can truly make production closer to trade and consumers and consistently make wines that are relevant to the drinking public.

Working from the ground up has given Enrico an appreciation of all aspects of the business, making him a knowledgeable managing and sales director. He has a bold inventive instinct and leads the winery to excellence by constantly looking to innovate and stay ahead of the curve.

Enrico’s authentically friendly and welcoming personality combined with his passion for wine, make him an invaluable point of reference for our trade partners both in Italy and worldwide.

Recognised by his peers for his significant contribution to the Prosecco wine industry, Enrico was appointed as a member of the “Confraternita del Prosecco” in 2018.

Denis Bedin

Denis leads our winemaking team and runs the day-to-day bottling operations, overseeing the journey of Prosecco from the tank to the bottle with expertise and an extensive technical knowledge of all filling and labelling equipment.

His tireless dedication, perseverance and hard work is key to our dynamic production and makes private label Prosecco possible as an addition to our family brand wines.

Damiano Bedin

Damiano oversees all facets of vineyard management year-round, assessing compliance to the sustainability standards and making sure that the grapes we grow come from the healthiest vines.

While performing all vineyard tasks like pruning and trellising, he keeps things in line for the winemaking team and ensures crew members always have a smile on their faces.

Certifications

Quality is a mission.
Care and respect along every step of the journey is how we aim to achieve it.

With this principles in mind, we started on a certification program that provides third party verification of our commitment to continuous improvement in order to deliver consistent, genuine and sustainable wines, crafted according to the highest quality standards.

Through the conscious tending of the vines, the careful handling of the fruit all the way through to the bottled product and the respect for our relationship with our land and the people, we are determined to elevating the quality in our wines and offering our clients a truly good wine.

S.Q.N.P.I Certification
National Integrated Production Quality System

Our vineyards are certified SQNPI: a statewide certification scheme that focuses on natural resources protection and reducing waste. SQNPI enables us to produce high quality wines, while meeting environmentally responsible standards around biodiversity and soil. We are working with our growing partners to do the same, ensuring every grape that goes into our wine has been grown to local sustainability standards.

Food Safety System Certification
FSSC 22000 – UNI EN ISO 22000:18

Following on from our vineyard approach, we have achieved ISO 22:000 accreditation for manufacturing quality at the winery, ensuring that all elements that influence food safety are measured, reviewed and assessed throughout the winemaking operations to meet the highest international standards.
