Terre di Rai
The Estate
The power and the pride of a woman, Sandra De Giusti, is the owner of Terre di Rai. The winery is located on the left side of the Piave river in Treviso’s province, in the heart of Veneto region, between Venice and the Dolomites.
Sandra De Giusti isn’t scared by challenges. She has promptly undertaken the route that finally led her to the realisation of a dream: working together with her sons and sharing with them a passion that is the grape vine cultivation and the production of great wines.
This passion has been handing down from one generation to another, and it’s exactly the same one that, even now, is marking the work in the vineyards of this old farmer-rooted family. The lands are those that in the past belonged to the ancient aristocratic families of the area and that have been made fertile and fruitful by its farmers’ arms. Now it’s Sandra, supported by her sons, the custodian of these limitless estates, embroidered by native varieties, on the left side of the Piave river in Treviso’s province.
The Wine
The territory of 15 districts between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in the northern province of Treviso, is 50 km far from Venice and from the Eastern Dolomites. It is a seductive and beautiful hilly landscape in which the succession of sweet bends and steep slopes stresses a close weave of rows of country houses, old villages and inestimable artistic beauties that overlook and characterize this area of the Marca Trevigiana, for ages naturally suited to the great wine growing.
The Prosecco Hills of the Conegliano and Valdobbiadene became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 97 square kilometres of sinuous valleys outlined by vineyard rows and small villages became the eighth site in Veneto and the 55th in Italy to make the UNESCO list.
