Fondo Rubro is an evolving project, stemming from a very young wine-producing reality established in 2018 thanks to the Tiozzo family's determination to invest in a territory that remains relatively unknown nationally and internationally: the Colli Berici, in the province of Vicenza.
The family's insight was to invest in a hilly estate with a past dedicated to viticulture and with great potential, especially regarding the production of structured red wines. The confirmation came with the first official vintage in 2019: the land is particularly suited to the production of quality red grapes because, thanks to their optimal exposure and the microclimate of the area, they achieve perfect ripening sheltered from winter frosts, promising significant sugar content even in less favorable seasons.
In the same year, the Fondo Rubro brand was born, conceived by daughter Alessia, a landscape architect, and her husband Marco, an automation engineer, who currently oversee the brand development and wine line. However, the final result is the culmination of the contribution of various professionals, chosen for their expertise and profound knowledge of the territory, with the aim of achieving high quality standards both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
Alessia and Marco immediately understand that it is precisely because of the peculiar characteristics of the "rubro" (red) soil, rich in clay and marine sediments, that wines with bold aromas and great structure are born, suitable for long aging periods.
In 2020, a new project took off: Tai Rosso as the company's ambassador, currently produced in various versions to enhance the aromatic and qualitative potential of this native grape variety, employing different winemaking techniques such as the drying of grapes after manual harvesting.
Fondo Rubro's values are authenticity and quality, achieved through the development of sustainable and increasingly precise agriculture, essential for preserving the biodiversity heritage contained in the estate. Biodiversity is indeed the heart of the company: the vineyard area now covers 8 hectares and is surrounded by flowering meadows, fruit trees, other valuable tree species, and woodland, for a total of 28 hectares of company-owned land.
In addition to Tai Rosso, Cabernet, Merlot, Carmenère, Syrah, Pinot Grigio, and Garganega grapes are cultivated, following traditional methods and in full respect of nature's timing, with vineyard practices such as shoot selection, leaf removal, thinning, and in-plant selection of the best clusters, with harvesting in crates only when complete ripening is reached.
The extensive work done in the vineyard significantly reduces that in the cellar. Currently, an average of 8,000 bottles are produced each year.

Red wine - Tai Rosso barrique
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small crates to naturally wither in a ventilated room. After a few weeks, once the desired evolution is achieved, the grapes are pressed. This is followed by a cold maceration with subsequent spontaneous fermentation. After racking and pressing, the wine is aged in 500-liter tonneaux for 24 months. It is further refined in the bottle for at least six months before being put up for sale.
