The Estate: Cantine Bedin was established in the early 20th century by the Bedin family. The winery has been passed down through generations, maintaining its family-run heritage. They are situated in the heart of the Prosecco DOC region, specifically in the hills of Asolo, which is known for its ideal conditions for producing high-quality Prosecco. The winery emphasizes sustainable and environmentally-friendly viticulture practices. They focus on minimal intervention in the vineyard and the cellar to let the natural characteristics of the grapes shine through in the wine. While they uphold traditional winemaking techniques, they also incorporates modern technology to enhance the quality and consistency of their wines. 
Quality is their mission. Care and respect along every step of the journey is how they aim to achieve it. With these principles in mind, they started on a certification program that provides third party verification of their commitment to continuous improvement in order to deliver consistent, genuine and sustainable wines, crafted according to the highest quality standards.
