The producer
Stringhetta Società Agricola sits on Via Argine Destro Piave, the right-bank dyke road that runs along the Piave river on the eastern Veneto plain. The farm's work follows that river corridor: the same name that marks the saffron, the asparagus, and the address also anchors the wine range. Mattia Stringhetta leads the business in its second generation, and the range he has built is direct and unpretentious, four bottles across sparkling and still styles, all working with Glera, Pinot Nero, and Chardonnay grown on the flat alluvial plain east of Venice.
The Prosecco Brut 2022, made from 100 percent Glera, is the clearest bottle in the range: pear, gooseberry, grapefruit and elderflower on the nose, a lively mousse, bright acidity, and a faintly fruit-sweet finish that the brut dosage keeps in check. The sparkling rosato blends Pinot Nero with Glera under an Extra Dry designation, adding colour and a softer finish. Still varietal Pinot Nero and Chardonnay complete the range for occasions that call for something without bubbles. The Piave asparagus and saffron sit alongside the bottles in the family's own account, not as an afterthought but as the same argument in a different medium: this flat river plain is a place with something specific to offer.

The Producer
Stringhetta Società Agricola sits on Via Argine Destro Piave, the right-bank dyke road that runs along the Piave river on the eastern Veneto plain. The address is not incidental. The Piave supplies the farm's geographic setting, lending its name to the saffron and asparagus grown alongside the vines and marking the kind of place where a family enterprise can draw its whole range from a single river corridor.
Mattia Stringhetta leads the business into its second generation. Where the first generation built the wine operation, Mattia pushed the farm outward through research and study, adding Piave saffron and Piave asparagus as named products alongside the wine selections. The asparagus of the Piave is the most prominent of the seasonal specialties in the family's own account. The range includes wine selections, Piave saffron, and Piave asparagus.
Place
The Piave plain stretches across the northeastern corner of Veneto, from the foothills of the Dolomites down toward the Adriatic coast. The river gave its name to a legally defined wine zone, and the flat, alluvial terrain of the plain produces wines that tend toward freshness, light body, and aromatic clarity rather than weight. Sparkling wine from Glera is the style most at home in this corridor, and Stringhetta's range follows that grain: the sparkling bottles lead, with still varietal wines completing the picture.
The postal code 30027 and the Metropolitan City of Venice municipality place the farm in the southern part of the Veneto wine country, downstream from the hills where the DOCG designations for Prosecco concentrate. Wines are labelled under the Veneto regional designation; specific appellation status beyond that is unconfirmed.
Soil And Site
The farm occupies the embankment zone along the Piave river. Alluvial plains in this part of Veneto are typically composed of river-deposited gravels, silts, and sandy loams left by centuries of flooding and course changes. This kind of terrain drains freely and keeps vine roots searching for water and minerals, which pushes toward leaner, aromatic fruit rather than concentrated, structured wine. Detailed vineyard data, vine ages, and plot locations have not been publicly confirmed.
Story
The Stringhetta family has grown wine in this part of Veneto across generations. The business itself, as currently constituted, is two generations old. Mattia's chapter did not simply continue what came before. Working through what the family describes as research and study, he broadened the farm's commercial range beyond wine, adding Piave saffron and Piave asparagus to the product range.
This move matters for how the farm presents itself. Stringhetta is not purely a wine estate that happens to have a vegetable patch. It is a place-identified agricultural business where the Piave river is the connecting thread across wine, spice, and seasonal produce. That framing shapes the wine range too: four bottles, each direct in variety and style, aimed at everyday drinking rather than collector attention.
Vineyards And Cellar
Vineyard ownership, grape sourcing, viticultural practice, and cellar methods are not confirmed in available sources. The grapes grown or sourced include Glera, Pinot Nero, and Chardonnay. Glera is the white variety behind both the Prosecco Brut and, blended with Pinot Nero, the sparkling rosato. Pinot Nero also appears as a still varietal wine, and Chardonnay produces a still white.
The sparkling wines are made in the frizzante or spumante styles typical of Veneto producers working with Glera: light, aromatic, built for freshness. The Prosecco Brut carries a brut designation, meaning it is made with low dosage and finishes drier than the Extra Dry label on the rosato.
Wines
The range runs to four confirmed bottles across sparkling and still styles.
The Prosecco Brut 2022 is 100 percent Glera, the grape legally required for Prosecco production. It opens with pear, gooseberry, grapefruit and elderflower on the nose, stays just under medium body in the glass, and carries lively acidity and an active mousse to a faintly fruit-sweet finish. The brut designation keeps it from tipping into sweetness, though the fruit character is present and forward.
The Rosato Sparkling Extra Dry blends Pinot Nero with Glera. The Extra Dry label sits one step sweeter than Brut in sparkling wine terminology, so the rosato is likely softer on the finish. The Pinot Nero component adds colour and some red fruit character to the otherwise Glera-driven profile.
The Pinot Nero is a varietal still red, a less common choice in a region better known for sparkling production. The Chardonnay 2023 rounds out the range as a varietal still white. Both still wines sit outside the sparkling core but give the range breadth for occasions that call for something without bubbles.
In The Glass
The Prosecco Brut 2022 gives the clearest picture of what Stringhetta produces. Pear and elderflower lift from the glass first, followed by gooseberry and grapefruit as the wine opens. In the mouth the mousse is active without being aggressive, the acidity is bright and keeps the wine from feeling flat or dull, and the body stays light. The finish has a faint fruit sweetness that the brut dosage just holds in check. It is a wine that drinks easily and early, built for aperitivo timing rather than ageing.
The sparkling rosato will carry more colour and likely a softer, slightly riper impression from the Pinot Nero, with the Extra Dry designation adding a touch more sweetness on the finish than the Brut shows. The still Pinot Nero and Chardonnay do not have confirmed tasting detail.
A Bottle To Understand It
Start with the Prosecco Brut 2022. It is 100 percent Glera, made in the brut style, and it gives the most direct reading of what the farm and the Piave plain produce. Pear and elderflower on the nose, a lively mousse, bright acidity, and a clean finish with just enough fruit to stay interesting without tipping sweet. It is a light, aromatic sparkling wine built for drinking young, and it represents the style at the centre of the Stringhetta range and the broader Veneto sparkling tradition from which the farm works.
Anecdote
When Mattia Stringhetta took the family business into its second generation, he extended the range through research and study. The farm sits on Via Argine Destro Piave, the right-bank embankment road of the Piave river, and its range already included wine selections. Through what the family describes as attento lavoro di ricerca e studio, careful work of research and study, he added Piave saffron to the range, then Piave asparagus, which the family names first among all the seasonal specialties. A farm that had defined itself by wine selections now defined itself by a river. The asparagus of the Piave, famous enough in the region to need no further description in the family's own account, sits at the front of the list alongside the bottles.
Final Word
Stringhetta is a small Veneto farm operation whose range is direct and unpretentious: four bottles, three grapes, two sparkling styles and two still varietals, all drawn from a flat river plain east of Venice. The Prosecco Brut is the entry point and the clearest expression of what the farm does with Glera on alluvial Veneto soil. The saffron and asparagus are not a distraction from the wine; they are the same argument made in a different medium, that the Piave corridor is a place worth paying attention to.
