Azienda Agricola La Jara

La Jara is an Italian dialect word for ‘pebbles’. The Marion family chose this name for their estate because small white limestone pebbles are typical of the area. Rivers from the Dolomites carry fertile alluvial deposits as well as stones. The combination of soil and heat-retaining pebbles is ideal for viticulture. Azienda Agricola La Jara is in Mareno di Piava (Treviso), near the small river island of Grave di Papadopoli. The vineyards, stretching from the foot of the hills of Conegliano and Valdobiaddene to the River Piave, are ideal for growing Glera, formerly known as the Prosecco grape. Azienda Agricola La Jara has existed since 1891, when the ancestors of today's owners, Massimo and Paolo Marion, discovered their great love for the land and its grapes. Division through inheritance has since reduced the estate to 40 hectares. This does not make La Jara's wines any less significant. Out of conviction, the two brothers farm the entire estate according to certified organic and biodynamic principles. Cooperation with local farmers ensures a supply of organic cattle manure. La Jara's cellar technology specialises in sparkling wine production, as the Marions, unlike many winegrowers, produce almost exclusively sparkling wines. This is certainly one reason why La Jara's Proseccos often rank near the top in tastings. When the technologically advanced new cellar was built, care was taken to make it possible to harvest and press the entire grape crop in a single day.
