Tenuta Baron is located in Fonte, a pre-Alpine town in the province of Treviso. The property extends for ten hectares and is governed by Villa Peschicini, construction of the late '600 and ancient royal residence, the King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II, in fact, loved to stay in these hills. The villa is located at the center of the estate and is surrounded by the park with centuries-old trees, avenues of centuries-old olive trees and the vineyard on all sides. Thus creating a small natural eco-system.

A dream came true in the '70s, when Domenico "Nico" Baron bought Peschicini villa in Fonte (Treviso). Immediately begins the restoration of the buildings, the restoration of the old vineyard and the reconstruction of the park. After 40 years of work, which in the middle have seen the construction of the cellar, dug into a hill, Tenuta Baron is in full splendor. Now his wife and children, with the help of Andrea Sbrissa, bring all the efforts of Nico from the land to the bottle, which always watches attentively with passion and enthusiasm.
