Beginning in 1769, with Giovanni Follador being honored for the quality of his wine by the Doge of Venice Alvise IVº Mocenigo, the Follador family has humbly followed their passion, carefully and devotedly charting a model for Italian sparkling wine. Gianfranco Follador, a descendant of Giovanni, was able to bring about a change in the family tradition by devoting himself to sparkling wine. In 1970, Gianfranco Follador, together with his wife Italia, founded Follador Spumanti, one of the first sparkling wine companies in Valdobbiadene, continuing this tradition of quality, passion and excellence in wine production. Follador’s Prosecco line is a hallmark of fine sparkling wines. Fine and persistent perlage, rich bouquets with elegant, dry finish are the result of uncommon skill handed down for more than two centuries
