Paolo Sacchetto
Italy
Like his dad and granddad before him, quietly making Prosecco in the Veneto region of Italy all his life
- Paolo Sacchetto is the third generation of his family to make Prosecco and despite a brief flirtation with economics in his twenties, it's what he was meant to do ever since he popped out into the world - and probably why he has earned himself the moniker, King of Prosecco.
- When you hear the phrase 'family business', this time it's not just marketing clap trap. His 78 year old father still turns up to work every day, and there's cousins and siblings working in virtually every nook and cranny of the winery his grandfather founded.
- With more than 90% of their production being Prosecco, Paolo and his crack team know exactly what they're doing, and the moment you wrap your laughing gear around a mouthful of their divine fizz, you'll be saying a little thank you to Paolo and the rest of the Sacchetto clan.
- Founded in 1928, sourcing grapes from a network of small local growers, with relationships going back over 80 years.
- Cousins Alessandro, Luca and Annalisa have taken a successful family company onto a whole new level.
- A big business by Naked standards, with quality head and shoulders above any comparable producer.
