It is not time that makes history, but choices. And Andreola’s 2024 was a year of courageous choices, challenges won and successes that speak with the force of facts.
Forty years after its foundation, the Valdobbiadene company confirms itself as the protagonist of a narrative made of territory, dedication and identity. A story that is renewed from harvest to harvest, season after season, rooted in the solidity of the land and projected towards the future with a far-sighted gaze.
2024 also marked the celebration of Andreola’s fortieth anniversary. To honor this milestone, the company chose to create something concrete and lasting: a celebratory box dedicated to the ” Rive “, the purest and most authentic essence of Valdobbiadene DOCG. A work that is not just form, but content. Inside the box, the most intimate and unrepeatable expressions of the vineyards that Andreola cultivates with dedication. A project that wanted to talk not only about wine, but about time, stories and landscapes. And the market responded. With great attention and interest, it was enthusiastically welcomed by the protagonists of the sector and by enthusiasts, reinforcing the perception of Andreola as an interpreter of an excellence that is never flaunted, but always recognized.
The highlights of 2024 are marked by the awards and recognitions obtained. Each medal, each score, is a tangible sign of the value of scrupulous work. Among the many achievements, the Tre Bicchieri del Gambero Rosso and the Corona of the Vinibuoni d’Italia guide awarded to the Founder 2023 stand out, a symbol of a production philosophy that puts the territory at the center. And again, the Mas de Fer 2023, which won the title of best Prosecco in its category according to Falstaff Sparkling Special 2024 , with 94 points certifying its excellence. No less important, the Col del Forno 2023, awarded with Gold at The Drinks Business Prosecco Masters and with the prestigious recognition The WineHunter Award . These achievements are just a part of a larger mosaic, a path that has seen Andreola labels shine in all the main national and international competitions, confirming the qualitative consistency of each single bottle.
2024 was a year of targeted and strategic investments . In the vineyard, the commitment went beyond ordinary management. The abundant spring rains caused small landslides in some historic areas, requiring extraordinary interventions to ensure the stability of the soil and safeguard the vitality of the roots. In the cellar, the introduction of new tanks made it possible to keep the vinification of the individual vineyards separate, a choice that allows us to enhance the peculiarities of each parcel and bring the authenticity of each terroir to the bottle. The purchase of a screw capper then gave impetus to a new project dedicated to the IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti wines, opening up new perspectives and new ways of telling the story of wine.
The market responded, and Andreola was able to strengthen its presence abroad , growing in Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the Baltics, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Ukraine and Hungary. Mature markets such as Germany and Malta confirmed their stability, while new opportunities emerged in strategic areas. This scenario confirms a change in trend in global consumption: people drink less, but choose to drink better.
In this context, Stefano Pola continues to believe, helped by his team, in the qualitative coherence and in the ability to tell the authenticity of a territory of each of his products.
