About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from estate vineyards in the provinces of Venice and Treviso. The sites lie at 90–180 m above sea level, mostly with southern exposure, on clay-limestone soils.

Grapes

Pinot Bianco and/or Chardonnay may supplement Glera, together accounting for no more than 15% of the blend.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented in large stainless-steel tanks for 10–12 days at a controlled temperature of 17–18 °C. Second fermentation takes place in sealed autoclaves using the Italian Charmat method. The wine is filtered before bottling for clarity.

Ageing

The sparkling wine remains on the lees for about one month.

Tasting profile

Refreshing, with fruit and floral aromas and a bright, clear appearance.
