Vintage Details

The 2024 vintage was characterized by a regular harvest, favored by a balanced climate with sunny days and cool nights that ensured slow and complete grape ripening. The Glera grapes, accompanied by small percentages of indigenous varieties, were harvested by hand in early September, preserving their aromatic fragrance intact.

Winemaking and Aging

After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed, and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve aromatic purity. The second fermentation – or "presa di spuma" – takes place in an autoclave for about 40 days, according to the Charmat method. Aging continues for several weeks in contact with the yeasts, enriching the wine with complexity and softness. The result is a lively, balanced sparkling wine with a fine and persistent perlage.

Palate: On the palate, it is harmonious and pleasantly creamy. The balance between acidity and residual sugar defines an immediate sensation of freshness, with an elegant and clean finish that invites another sip.
