What kind of wine is Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut DOCG 'Campofalco' 2024 Magnum - Canevel

The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut DOCG 'Campofalco' 2024 Magnum - Canevel is an excellent example of Venetian sparkling wine production, made using the Charmat method, typical of the finest Proseccos. This sparkling wine is born in the heart of the Valdobbiadene hills, an internationally recognized area for the quality of its Glera grapes and its ability to produce fine, fragrant, and perfectly balanced bubbles. The “Campofalco” comes from the Monfalcon vineyard, managed with organic criteria, and represents Canevel's vision: elegant, lively, and naturally soft bubbles, designed for those who love a Brut with a distinct personality and a fresh, immediate drinkability.

Vintage Details

The 2024 vintage was characterized by a balanced climate, with well-distributed rainfall and ideal temperatures during grape ripening. These conditions favored a perfect harvest, with healthy, aromatic bunches. The harvest, carried out by hand in early September, helped to best preserve the freshness and liveliness typical of Valdobbiadene Glera.

Winemaking and Aging

Winemaking involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation at a controlled temperature. Secondary fermentation follows the Charmat method (or Martinotti), which involves a second fermentation in autoclaves: a fundamental step to maintain aromatic freshness and develop fine, persistent bubbles. After several months of aging on lees, the wine is bottled in magnum format, ideal for preserving the slow and harmonious evolution of its characteristics.
