Vintage details

The grapes are hand-picked during the harvest, which generally takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October, when the ripeness of the fruit ensures a balance between freshness and aromas. The climatic conditions of the Valdobbiadene hills – characterized by excellent temperature fluctuations between day and night – favor aromatic concentration, resulting in a wine of great finesse.

Winemaking and aging

Winemaking takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to preserve the most delicate aromas of the Glera grape. This is followed by secondary fermentation using the Charmat method, i.e., refermentation in an autoclave, for a period of about 30-40 days. After sparkling, the wine ages in steel for another 1-3 months, to round out the structure and harmonize the bubbles without losing the typical freshness of Prosecco Superiore.
