Founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto in Fossalta di Portogruaro (Venice), and still firmly led by the family’s third generation, Herita Marzotto Wine Estates is one of Italy’s most important wine groups on the global stage, with revenues exceeding €248 million in 2024 and more than 25 million bottles sold across over 90 countries.

Among the pioneers of Glera sparkling wine production in the Valdobbiadene hills since 1952, a trendsetter in the global success of Pinot Grigio as we know it today, and a benchmark producer in Franciacorta, Herita has also played a pioneering role in Alto Adige’s more recent sparkling wine evolution. The group has further contributed to the international promotion of native Italian grape varieties such as Lugana and Vermentino. Across its history, Herita has consistently stood out for its forward-looking vision, anticipating shifts in consumer taste and evolving drinking occasions.

Today, Herita represents an extensive wine mosaic rooted in 10 estates and multiple brands, encompassing nearly 800 hectares across some of Italy’s most iconic wine regions. All vineyards are organically farmed or certified under SQNPI standards. In addition, the group manages over 40 hectares in the United States, alongside its wholly owned import subsidiary HERITA USA Inc., established in 2016.
