It all began in 1946, when Epifanio Dal Bianco, a pioneer of viticulture in the Conegliano of the time, purchased 5 hectares at Gorgo al Monticano in the province of Treviso. The maps identifying the estate show the toponym ‘Ai Palazzi’, and the facade of an ancient farmhouse within that area displays the words ‘Casa Masottina’.
