Francesco Drusian

Coming Up

Since 1988, Francesco Drusian has run Drusian in Valdobbiadene, Veneto, with a focus on Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG sparkling wines. The work is shaped by place before style: the hills, the climate, and the familiarity that comes from being born into the territory and reading its rhythms over time. In practice, that means keeping tradition in play while pushing on research, quality, and environmental respect.

Where They Are Now

Drusian continues under Francesco Drusian as founder and winemaker, with the line still centered on Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG sparkling wines. The method is less about display than discipline, with attention fixed on clarity, precision, and the expression of the territory behind the wines. The throughline is steady refinement without loosening the hold on the environment that shapes the work.

Signature

Francesco's signature dishes include Valdobbiadene DOCG Brut, Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Dry, Valdobbiadene DOCG Millesimato Dry, Valdobbiadene DOCG Superiore di Cartizze, and Drusian Sui Lieviti. Taken together, these bottles map the house style across its range: bright, sparkling, and tied to Valdobbiadene. Each name points to a different register within the same framework, from the direct line of Brut to the more distinctive character of Drusian Sui Lieviti.

In Their Words “To be born here gives me the possibility to know the territory and how to take advantages of it. My purpose is to continue the research and improve the quality of the wine. Never ever forgetting the total respect of the environment.” “I think that Sopressa (a typical salami) is well matched with our “Colfondo” (sur lie).”
