The story of Foss Marai is a love story: the one between Carlo Biasiotto and Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, an unparalleled territory, guardian of a centuries-old art of sparkling wine making.
It was 1986, when young Carlo - a profound connoisseur of the fruits of this area of Italy - founded Foss Marai. A company where the family spirit is strongly felt, where passion for the products is an essential value and where craftsmanship and innovation contribute to achieving perfection.
So, it was then. So, it is now.
Talking about Foss Marai today means first and foremost talking about the Biasiotto family.
Of the far-sightedness of Carlo Biasiotto and his wife Adriana, and of the entrepreneurship of his children Andrea, Cristiana and Umberto, thanks to whom Foss Marai has come to play the prestigious role of leading company: national and international testimonial of the best Italian sparkling wines and symbol of Italian wine-making prestige.
