Cantina Rechsteiner is a historic winery that embodies the spirit of Central European nobility and fine wine-making. The winery’s origins can be traced back to the Stepski family, who were captivated by the enchanting beauty of Venice and its lands. It was Felix Moritz Stepski-Doliwa, an Austro-Hungarian garrison chief, who envisioned creating a relaxation spot for his soldiers and officers. This vision manifested into the famous Sandwirth, or 'sand innkeeper,' sign that now graces the entrance of the Hotel Gabrielli in Venice, serving as a testament to the Stepski family’s legacy in the region.

In 1881, a pivotal moment occurred when Friederich Rechsteiner acquired the idyllic Estate of Piavon di Oderzo, along with the elegant 17th-century Villa. This estate had a rich and storied past, originally owned by the Revedin counts, and before them, by the Bonamico family and Cardinal Ottoboni. With a commitment to preserving this historical gem, the estate thrives under the stewardship of Baron Florian von Stepski-Doliwa, a direct descendant of Friederich Rechsteiner. This familial connection to the estate not only honors the heritage but ensures the legacy of exquisite wine production continues with passion and dedication. Cantina Rechsteiner is committed to crafting wines that resonate with authenticity and quality, drawing on centuries of expertise and a profound respect for the land.

The estate is caressed by the gentle breezes of the region, which complement its fertile soils and optimal climate, creating the perfect setting for vineyards that burgeon with promise.
