Vintage Details

The 2024 harvest was characterized by balanced climatic conditions: mild springs, warm but ventilated summers, and cool nights that allowed for optimal ripening of the Glera grapes. This climatic balance favored the full aromatic expression and excellent natural acidity, essential elements for a Prosecco Nature of great clarity.

Vinification and aging

The Glera grapes come from vineyards located on clay-limestone soils with morainic residues, derived from the ancient Piave glacier, which give the wine its characteristic mineral note. The must ferments in steel at a controlled temperature and then undergoes secondary fermentation with the long Charmat method, which lasts between 60 and 90 days. This period on the lees (i.e., on the yeasts, which give complexity and body) gives the wine a fine and persistent perlage, with richer aromatic nuances compared to traditional short Charmat.

Tasting Notes

Nose The nose is elegant and immediate, with aromas of green apple, pear, white flowers, and light citrus notes. Mineral nuances and a hint of bread crust are also perceived, resulting from prolonged contact with the yeasts. Taste On the palate, it is taut, dry, and lively.
