From the estate in Roncadelle to a wine family over three generations
In 1922, Vittorio Nardin made the decision to dedicate his life entirely to working on the land and founded the Borgo Molino winery in Roncadelle di Ormelle, in the middle of the Marca Trevigiana. What began as an agricultural business grew over the decades into a major player in the region. In the second generation, it was Sergio Nardin who further developed the experience and the close bond with the vineyards and personally oversaw production.
Today, his sons Paolo and Pietro Nardin run the company in the third generation. Paolo, a trained oenologist, is responsible for wine production, while his brother Pietro takes care of the commercial side. Thus, the winery remains what it has been for over a hundred years: a family business that bears the Nardin signature.
Three terroirs, one oenological signature
Borgo Molino thinks in terms of sites: the alluvial plains around Ormelle provide the basis for Prosecco DOC and Treviso DOC, while the steep marl and sandstone slopes of Valdobbiadene provide the grapes for the Prosecco Superiore DOCG. The portfolio is supplemented by the estate's own vineyards in Friuli near Spilimbergo, where further white wines are produced. This conscious separation by soil and climate allows Paolo Nardin to specifically tailor each cuvée to its origin; he is supported in this by Andrea Artico, one of the most sought-after oenologists in the Veneto.
In the cellar, Borgo Molino relies on temperature-controlled vinification and rapid processing of the grapes after the harvest to preserve the freshness and aroma of the Glera and other grape varieties. Sustainability is not just a buzzword here, but part of everyday life: part of the range carries the VeganOK certification, and the management of the winery is geared towards the careful use of natural resources across the vineyard, vinification, and bottling.
Prosecco as the centerpiece, still wines as a supplement
At the center of the range is the full spectrum of Prosecco: from Cartizze to Asolo DOCG and Valdobbiadene DOCG to the more open Treviso DOC, supplemented by rosé cuvées made from Pinot Nero with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. In addition, Borgo Molino carries still wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, and Ribolla Gialla, which reflect the diversity of the three cultivated zones.
Those who taste the wines of Borgo Molino are drinking a piece of Marca Trevigiana: Prosecco styles with clear fruit and fine perlage stand on an equal footing with white and red wines that reveal the soil and climate of each individual site — the basis for Corte Molino and the rest of the range that you can find in our shop.
