Since 1973 in Visnà di Vazzola in the province of Treviso, Bonaventura Maschio has transformed the family distillery into an innovative winery

Mini Prosecco Extra Dry DOC with Sparkling Pinot Rosa, Equalitas certified Venetian sparkling wines.

Cantine Maschio was born in 1973 when Bonaventura Maschio made a courageous turnaround transforming the century-old family distillery, active since 1904 in the Treviso area, into a cutting-edge wine company focused on Prosecco and sparkling wines. The headquarters in Visnà di Vazzola is located in the heart of Prosecco territory, an area that in 2019 obtained UNESCO recognition for the Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a wine-growing landscape that represents the emblem of Italian wine-making excellence in the world. This anticipatory intuition allows the company to ride the Prosecco boom transforming itself into a leader in the Italian sparkling wine market thanks to innovative formats and strong brand recognition.

The Pinot Rosa Frizzante IGT interprets the trend toward light and drinkable rosés perfect for summer aperitifs where a wine is needed that quenches without weighing down, with fine perlage and floral aromas that make it versatile for accompanying delicate cured meats and cheeses or raw fish appetizers where a rosé is needed that does not cover flavors but enhances them. The iconic Mini Prosecco Extra Dry DOC represents the format innovation that has changed Italian consumption habits, a twenty-centiliter bottle designed for single serving that allows enjoying perfectly cold Prosecco without waste and without the need to store an open bottle. This "ready to enjoy" format has become an identity sign of the brand associated with pop conviviality moments such as the Sanremo Festival where the company has been official sponsor with dedicated kits.

Integration into the Cantine Riunite and Civ cooperative group has allowed important production scaling reaching at the Treviso plant approximately two hundred eighty-four thousand hectoliters processed and almost fifty-three million bottles in the 2020-2021 financial year, a six percent growth compared to the previous year that testifies to market appreciation. Cooperation between eight vinification centers and three bottling plants distributed between Reggio Emilia, Modena and Treviso guarantees logistical efficiency and quality control over the entire supply chain while maintaining that Veneto territoriality that represents the soul of the project. The payoff "the wine that uncorks a smile" immediately communicates the brand philosophy centered on conviviality, light moments and usability in every format, a tone that distinguishes the pop approach from competitors positioned on a more formal register.

The Verduzzo Frizzante IGT enhances a less known but appreciated native Veneto grape variety for its aromatic notes of white fruit and flowers that make it perfect for those seeking alternatives to classic Prosecco while maintaining that pleasantness and immediate drinkability typical of Northeast sparkling wines. The Chardonnay Veneto IGT represents the territorial interpretation of an international grape variety, vinified to enhance freshness and minerality rather than wood complexity, an ideal result for accompanying aperitif savory snacks or light fish first courses where a clean white is needed that does not interfere with delicate preparations.

Fun fact: the company has been sponsor for fifteen consecutive years of the Maratona dles Dolomites, a cycling event that takes place in the Dolomite valleys and attracts thousands of enthusiasts from all over Europe. This partnership links Mini Prosecco to the world of sport and mountain landscape, creating associations with active lifestyles and post-effort celebration moments that resonate with the young and dynamic target. The recommended serving temperature of six to eight degrees Celsius is clearly communicated to ensure that Prosecco best expresses its organoleptic characteristics, a technical detail that demonstrates attention to the end consumer experience even in the most accessible and pop formats of the portfolio.

In 2022 the winery obtained Equalitas certification, a sustainability standard that evaluates performance on economic, social and environmental pillars through a structured management system and published annual balance sheet. At group level ISO 14001 and EMAS registration are implemented for multi-site environmental management with photovoltaic systems that reduce the energy impact of production and periodic environmental declarations that guarantee transparency on ecological performance. This attention to certified sustainability responds to the growing consumer sensitivity toward the environmental impact of purchasing choices, an element that becomes increasingly discriminating in shelf decisions especially for younger generations. The Mini format also available in multipacks of three twenty-centiliter bottles facilitates purchase for home consumption during television events or small house parties where practicality is needed without sacrificing certified DOC Prosecco quality. Today the Veneto company continues to innovate expanding the range with Prosecco DOC Rosé that intercepts the trend toward sparkling rosés, an extension that allows presiding over new consumption occasions and female targets particularly attracted to pink wines with fruity aromatic profile and contemporary image that these wines communicate through dedicated packaging and communication.

Equalitas Certification Sustainable Wine

In 2022, the winery obtained the Equalitas certification, a nationally recognized standard that evaluates wine sustainability on three pillars: economic, social and environmental. The system includes structured management with measurable indicators, periodic audits by third-party certifying body and published annual sustainability report which ensures transparency on the performance achieved. The certification covers the entire supply chain from vineyard to bottle, verifying sustainable agricultural practices, responsible management of water and energy resources, worker safety and socio-economic impact on the territory. This recognition positions the company among the most advanced realities in the Italian wine sector in the concrete implementation of ESG principles that can be verified and measured beyond basic regulatory obligations.

ISO 14001 and Group EMAS Registration

At the level of the Cantine Riunite and Civ cooperative group, ISO 14001 for environmental management and EMAS registration (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) are implemented, which represents the most stringent European standard for environmental management systems. EMAS registration requires a public environmental statement verified by an accredited body, with periodic performance updates and stakeholder involvement. photovoltaic systems installed on production sites reduce dependence on fossil fuels by covering a significant part of energy needs through self-produced renewable energy. The group operates eight winemaking centers and three bottling plants that implement unified environmental management protocols, ensuring consistent approach across all operational sites distributed between Veneto and Emilia-Romagna.
