What kind of wine is Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry 'Giall’Oro' Magnum - Ruggeri

The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry 'Giall’Oro' Magnum - Ruggeri is born in the heart of the Valdobbiadene hills, an area symbolic of Italian sparkling wine production, recognized as DOCG for its quality and tradition. This Prosecco is made using the Charmat method, a process that involves a second fermentation in autoclaves to enhance the freshness and aromatic fragrance of the Glera grape. The result is a sparkling wine with an elegant and harmonious character, perfectly balanced between vivacity and softness, ideal for those seeking a versatile wine with great personality.

Vintage details

The 'Giall’Oro' harvest typically takes place in late summer, when the Glera grape reaches the perfect balance between acidity and sugar content. The most recent vintage was distinguished by a balanced climate, with sunny days and cool nights that favored the aromatic ripening of the grapes, resulting in a particularly fine and fragrant wine.

Vinification and aging

After soft pressing of the grapes, the must undergoes fermentation at a controlled temperature to preserve its fragrance. The secondary fermentation (prise de mousse) occurs using the Charmat method, i.e., in autoclaves, for several weeks: a process that allows for a fine and persistent perlage and impeccable gustatory freshness. After bottling, the wine rests for about one to two months before being released to the market, allowing it to reach its ideal aromatic balance.
