Costadilà ('the hillside over there') was founded by Ernesto Cattel and a group of partners in 2006. Though Ernesto – undoubtedly the brainchild of the whole operation – left us in the summer of 2018, the original partners are still involved and the project continues. They have kept on Alex della Vecchia and Martina Celi: both worked with Ernesto in the vines and cellar and are continuing in his footsteps. While Ernesto's charisma and energy is irreplaceable, it brings us joy to know that his vision is still in capable hands.
Ernesto was one of the Veneto's champions of the 'colfondo' Prosecco resurgence, insisting on organic and biodynamic farming practices in a region that has for decades been hallmarked by the exact opposite, Costadilà harkens back to the way Veneto wines once were, while showcasing exactly how fresh, complex, and meditative the region's wines can be. In a nutshell, these wines pack an infinite amount of character and complexity, especially at such a reasonable price point. Considering how forgettable (and often downright trashy) mass-market, commercial Prosecco wines can be makes these gems even more special!
