Distributor's Notes:

"Le Monde takes its name from the Germanic word “mundio” that referred to the protection granted by the Austrian Emperor to some lands. With 50 hectares (125 acres) of vineyards, Le Monde was founded in 1970 by the Pistioni family and taken over by the Maccan family in 2008. The Maccan family is from the Prata di Pordenone area and became quite successful in industrial technology. The family had the desire to lift the quality of wine in the region to its highest potential. Alex Maccan, then 31, passionate about wine was energized and enthusiastic to take on the task. From the beginning, the Maccans sought the advice of top wine consultants. Giovanni Ruzzene leads Le Monde winemaking. The goal: to produce wines with freshness of fruit, balance, with immediate accessibility and enjoyment. Le Monde wines have been honored with 12 consecutive awards by Tre Bicchiere/Gambero Rosso for excellence in Italian winemaking."
