A real and exciting story of a family that begins after the Second World War: in Valdobbiadene the three Bortolomiol brothers start the production of Prosecco and to let it become famous by cycling around the Region and bringing small samples.
In August 1978 Gemin, the nickname of Guglielmo, founded the winery with his name and beginning a sparkling history that is still being carried out today. Over the years 80s and 90s Gemin produces bottles wines for the most renowned Italian companies, bringing continuous innovations in the first and second fermentation of the Martinotti method.
It then becomes a reference company of the national sparkling wine sector. The production aims at the enhancement of the Valdobbiadene DOCG and its various types; sales cover the entire Italian territory and the main world markets. Since the end of the 90s, the company is run by her daughter Paola and her husband Alvio, who make continuous improvements in quality, production and sales.
Since 2009 we have decided to remove the name “Prosecco” from our bottles. Not to deny what had been done up to that moment: we realized that the Prosecco name did not give the right value to our bottled wine. For this reason, the labels show only the words “Valdobbiadene DOCG” with its different types, Brut, Extra dry and Dry. In some cases we report too the area of the vineyard production, such as CARTIZZE or RIVE DI SANTO STEFANO.
In these hills the work is hard, very hard, but it leads to unquestionably exceptional results. The processes are done by hand, from mowing the grass, to the pruning, to the smallest attentions to be given to the wine, so that it can give the optimal conditions to produce the grapes. Once in the cellar the grapes can then be processed to start the process towards the final product. Every day we check it and dedicate all our passion. Bringing home a Gemin bottle becomes then a choice, a way to bind to a corporate philosophy that enhances its territory and Italian excellence. Do not be satisfied just with an average “prosecchino”, but live an emotion together with your friends and your families drinking a glass of VALDOBBIADENE DOCG GEMIN. Cheers to all.
Gemin, Our Philosophy

Every day life puts us in front of small or big choices. The Gemin family has decided to bind itself indissolubly to its territory, the hills of Valdobbiadene. An area where CLIMATE, SOIL AND MAN make the difference.
