012 Castello di Collalto + Music
A day in European HISTORY: Holy Roman Empire castle, Renaisssance palace, literally to the origins of the Etiquette…
Nowadays, in August 2022, the King of Belgium Philippe (grandson of the last Queen of Italy, Maria José) visited the cellars of Collalto, guest of Princess Isabella… exactly as you will do !!!
The Collalto family is of ancient Lombard origin, named Counts of Treviso (960 a.D.), in the 1300s they built the Castle of San Salvatore in Susegana.
It is here that in 1500 Monsignor Della Casa, a guest of the Collaltos, wrote his famous “Galateo” (“Etiquette”, the text that is still the basis of “good manners” today).
In 1741, Count Vinciguerra Collalto was the patron who bought his “Farewell Concerts” from Antonio Vivaldi (which will be the background LIVE MUSIC at lunch, to choose from: guitar & voice OR harp & violin.).
In 1762 at the age of 6, W. Amadeus Mozart held his first concert at Palazzo Collalto in Vienna.
Today Princess Isabella manage the historic winery, with 170 hrs of vineyards, 70 of which are Prosecco, she immerses herself in the world of wine, and brings to the world exceptional wines that have been awarded in all the most important competitions, never forgetting the deep bond with the territory that for millennia has been identified with the name of the Collalto.

The tasting will be a surprise of the moment among verticals, reserves, varieties of prosecco, little-known wines, always accompanied with local products, cold cuts and cheeses, to conclude your incomparable multi-sensory experience in style.
The Fashionable INNOVATION:
VIOLETTE Rosé Extra-Dry Sparkling
This rosé sparkling wine beguiles the taster first of all with its appearance, an utterly inimitable peony pink hue.
Then the eye is enchanted by a slender but dense bead of irrepressible pin-point bubbles that presage the wine’s appreciable crispness.
The nose is intensely redolent of delicate notes of rose petals, lime blossoms, and wild berry.
The Great HISTORY:
ISABELLA Rive di Collalto Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. Millesimato
The grapes for our Rive Prosecco are painstaking selected from vineyards on a striking site on the Collalto hill, to the north of the San Salvatore Castle.
Here, more than a 1.000 years ago, Princess Isabella’s ancestors settled, building the first castle.
Its name, too, became theirs, and they later won the rank of Counts of Collalto.
LUNCH in a reserved area EXCLUSIVELY for you at the Castle: in the Terrace of the Statues, or in the Terrace of the Leccio, or in the Sala delle Armi.
Light lunch in the castle with an ancient tradition menu and designed to perfectly match our most prestigious wines, served at the set table, 3 courses (appetizer, first course, dessert or first course, second course, dessert).
