Borgo Antico.

But how did it all start? In the summer of 2024, we visited Conegliano for the first time. One afternoon we wandered into a random shop that happened to sell prosecco. The selection was enormous, but we ended up picking – among others – a Borgo Antico Extra Dry. We opened it at a weekend brunch back home, and I still remember: every single guest (15+) loved it. From that moment on, we had a secret favourite. Our second encounter was just as spontaneous. After Christmas we visited the Prosecco Hills. The usual routine: breakfast, then up into the hills – and there was this small town, more of a village really, that caught our eye. Our method in situations like this: pick a winery that looks good from the hilltop, then knock on the door. That's exactly how we found Borgo Antico. Google said they opened at 14:00. We were already standing in the courtyard at 14:05. At 14:15 a window finally opened, and Leonardo, the owner, waved us over: "Ciao, give me 10 minutes, wait for me!" He arrived and welcomed us like old friends.

We've been going back ever since. The story behind the brand is just as lovely: the winery was founded by Leonardo's father in 1973, and Leonardo gradually took it over – he's been part of the business since childhood. Alongside the Italian market, their main export destinations are Japan and the Czech Republic – and now, thanks to us, Hungary too.

Azóta is vissza-visszajárunk hozzá. A márkatörténet is szép: a borászatot Leonardo apukája alapította 1973-ban, aztán szépen lassan átvette tőle a fia, aki gyerekkora óta benne van a szakmában. Az olasz piac mellett Japán és Csehország a fő célpontjuk, de mostmár – általunk – Magyarországra is eljutottak.
