The story of Foss Marai is a story of love: the one between Carlo Biasiotto and Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, an unparalleled territory, guardian of a centuries-old art of sparkling wine production.
It was in 1986, when young Carlo - a deep 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 the achievement of perfection.
So it was then. So it is now.
Talking about Foss Marai today means first of all talking about the Biasiotto family.
About the farsightedness of Carlo Biasiotto and his wife Adriana, and the entrepreneurship of their 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.
