Vintage details

The vintage of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry Magnum - Luca Ricci (with case) is characterized by a balanced harvest, marked by favorable weather that ensured perfectly ripe and aromatic grapes. The manual harvest, carried out in late summer, preserved the fragrance of the Glera, bringing freshness and territorial typicality to the glass.

Winemaking and aging

After the harvest, the Glera grapes undergo a gentle soft pressing and static decantation to separate residues. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, to maintain the floral and fruity aromas intact. This is followed by the prise de mousse in autoclaves for 30-40 days, a phase during which the fine and persistent bubbles characteristic of the Charmat method develop. The aging, lasting 1-3 months, also in steel, completes the aromatic profile, lending balance and harmony.
