What kind of wine is Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry 'Molera' 2024 - Bisol1542

The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry 'Molera' 2024 - Bisol1542 is an authentic expression of the Valdobbiadene territory, the beating heart of the most prestigious Prosecco denomination. It is a sparkling wine produced with the Charmat method (or Martinotti), a technique that involves refermentation in an autoclave, ideal for preserving the freshness, fragrance, and natural aromaticity of the Glera grapes. It originates from vineyards rooted in soils rich in clay and marine sandstone, characterized by the presence of a particular citrine rock which gives rise to the name "Molera". The result is an elegant, mineral, and perfectly balanced wine, capable of authentically narrating the hilly landscape of Valdobbiadene.

Vintage details

The 2024 vintage was distinguished by a balanced climate, with well-distributed rainfall and a warm but not excessive summer, which favored homogeneous grape ripening. The harvest is manual, carried out on steep morainic hills, where viticulture takes on "heroic" traits due to the significant slopes and strictly artisanal processing. The harvested grapes showed a perfect balance between sugars and acidity, yielding a Prosecco of great vivacity and finesse.

Winemaking and aging

After a first fermentation in steel at controlled temperature, the base wine undergoes secondary fermentation in an autoclave using the Charmat method, which maximizes the fruit's fragrance and the wine's natural freshness. The aging period on the lees lasts about 30-40 days, resulting in a fine and persistent perlage. Once bottled, the Prosecco is left to rest for a few weeks in the cellar before commercialization, to achieve the perfect balance between softness and liveliness.
