Collis Veneto Wine Group has arrived at Vinitaly 2026 with a renewed vision that highlights the Group’s identity, structure and ambitions. With 7,200 hectares of vineyards, 2,450 members, a presence in over 70 countries, and consolidated revenues exceeding €220 million, Collis confirms its position among the top ten Italian wine producers. The trade fair became the opportunity to present the new corporate website, the entry of the Cantina Sociale di Monteforte d’Alpone, and a series of projects that bring together territory, innovation and new consumption languages. Among these, particular attention is drawn to developments linked to Soave Classico under the Clivus brand and the debut of SRT898 – Sartori Rewrites Tradition, the line that reinterprets tradition through a contemporary lens.
A New Digital Identity to Tell All the Group’s Dimensions
Collis Veneto Wine Group chooses Vinitaly to unveil its new corporate website, designed to make the Group’s structure clearer and to enhance its complexity. The project unfolds along two complementary dimensions: Vineyards, dedicated to the cooperative and production system, and Heritage, which brings together brands, winemaking projects and market presence.
The aim is to provide an immediate understanding of the Collis model without altering its corporate architecture. As CEO Pierluigi Guarise explains, the new website “strengthens our identity and our ability to engage with different stakeholders, highlighting the direct link between the origin of the product and its destination.”
This communicative evolution is part of a broader path aimed at making the Group’s role within the Italian and international wine landscape increasingly recognizable.
Collis Veneto Wine Group: the Entry of the Monteforte Winery and a New Weight in Soave Classico
Among the most significant developments of 2026 is the integration of the Cantina Sociale di Monteforte d’Alpone, operational as of February 1. With approximately 1,200 hectares of vineyards, largely located in the heart of the Soave Classico denomination, Collis strengthens its presence in one of Italy’s most renowned white‑wine territories.
The area is distinguished by volcanic soils and a vineyard heritage of great value, now further enhanced through the U.G.A. (Additional Geographical Units), which allow for a more precise reading of territorial specificities. The operation opens new prospects, particularly in the development of certified supply chains linked to volcanic wines, where geological identity, traceability and quality are increasingly demanded by the market.
For President Pietro Zambon, the entry of the Monteforte Winery “strengthens the bond with one of Veneto’s most vocated territories and consolidates the Group’s ability to present itself on the markets with an authoritative voice grounded in quality.” A path that concerns not only dimensional growth, but also the valorization of Soave Classico and its excellence.
Clivus and SRT898: Between Territorial Identity and New Consumption Languages
At Vinitaly 2026, Collis has presented a series of innovations that reflect the Group’s dual soul: on one side, the enhancement of territorial identities; on the other, the ability to interpret new consumption models.
Clivus represents the core of projects linked to Soave Classico. Here, the focus is on U.G.A.s, volcanic soils and an in‑depth reading of the territory. Traceability, identity and stylistic coherence become the pillars of a range intended to express one of the most distinctive facets of Veneto viticulture.
Alongside this vision, Collis introduces SRT898 – Sartori Rewrites Tradition, the project signed by Sartori di Verona that brings a new language into the wine world. Designed for an urban, contemporary consumer, SRT898 offers wines that are immediate, balanced and with moderate alcohol content. The packaging breaks conventions: capsule‑free bottles, transparent labels, and essential graphic symbols.
The name itself conveys the approach: SRT encapsulates the intent to rewrite tradition, while 898 recalls 1898, the year the winery was founded, reinterpreted in a modern key. Andrea Sartori, fourth generation and Brand Ambassador, emphasizes that “SRT898 does not replace our history, but evolves it,” opening a direct dialogue with a new generation of consumers.
General Manager Christian Scrinzi highlights the Group’s dual direction: on one side, the enhancement of Soave Classico with Clivus; on the other, a more contemporary language with SRT898. Two distinct yet coherent paths, capable of addressing different audiences without losing identity.
Collis Veneto Wine Group: an Integrated Model Linking Supply Chain and Market
Participation in Vinitaly 2026 has confirmed Collis’s evolutionary path, founded on an integrated model that connects vineyard management, production and market presence. This approach enables a precise reading of current dynamics and their translation into coherent production choices, strengthening the Group’s positioning as an authoritative interpreter of Veneto wine.
Today, Collis represents a solid reality: 7,200 hectares of vineyards, 2,450 members, six wineries, four bottling facilities, and 42 Cantina Veneta‑branded wine shops. The Group also holds 51% of Cielo e Terra 1908 Benefit Corp. and 73.3% of Collis Heritage S.p.A., with the remaining 26.7% owned by the Sartori family.
A broad, deeply rooted and constantly evolving structure that looks to the future with a clear vision: to enhance territories, people and identities, while interpreting new consumption codes.
