What kind of wine is Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut Nature Millesimato DOCG 'Sui Lieviti' - Borgoluce?

The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut Nature Millesimato DOCG 'Sui Lieviti' - Borgoluce is an organic sparkling wine of extraordinary identity, made from 100% Glera grapes cultivated in the hills of Valdobbiadene, the heart of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG denomination. This wine is made using the ancestral method, a variation of the Charmat method, which involves secondary fermentation in the bottle and the retention of yeasts within the wine, without the disgorgement phase. The result is an authentic, dry and direct Brut Nature, where the naturalness of the fermentation enhances the minerality and aromatic complexity typical of the territory.

Vintage details

Each Borgoluce Millesimato edition comes from a single harvest, rigorously hand-picked in the south-facing hillside vineyards. The vintage usually enjoys a balanced climate, with mild days and good temperature fluctuations between day and night, factors that allow the Glera grape to express fresh aromas and a marked natural acidity.

Winemaking and aging

The vinification of the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut Nature Millesimato DOCG 'Sui Lieviti' - Borgoluce begins with controlled temperature fermentation. The wine is then bottled with its own yeasts, where natural re-fermentation takes place. No disgorgement is carried out: the yeasts remain in the bottle, imparting complexity, structure and that slight haze that is part of its charm. Aging on the lees continues for several months, during which the wine evolves and acquires greater aromatic depth.

Tasting notes

Colour

It appears veiled straw yellow, a sign of contact with the yeasts in the bottle. The perlage is fine and continuous, testament to the high quality of the natural sparkling process.

Nose

The nose opens with fragrant notes of green apple, citrus and white flowers, enriched by delicate hints of bread crust and yeast, typical of re-fermentation in the bottle. The bouquet evolves in the glass, revealing balsamic and mineral nuances.

Taste

On the palate it is dry and vibrant, perfectly balanced between freshness and savouriness. The absence of sugar dosage (Brut Nature) enhances its clean taste and long aromatic persistence, with a pleasantly citrusy and mineral finish.
