About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Glera fruit comes from selected vineyards in the Asolo Prosecco area of Treviso province, north of Venice. The vineyards lie on the Montello and Colli Asolani hills at the foot of the Dolomites, where the soils are decalcified. The climate is marked by mild springs and autumns and warm summers.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and pressed as whole bunches in a pneumatic press. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at 15–16 °C. Secondary fermentation follows the Charmat method in temperature-controlled pressurized tanks. Fermentation is stopped by cooling once the desired alcohol and sugar levels have been reached. After a short period of stabilization, the wine is bottled under pressure.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with generous fruit and floral aromas. The palate is lively and clean, with bright acidity and notable minerality.
