Vintage Details

Produced only in the best vintages, this Prosecco Superiore comes from Glera grapes grown on sunny and ventilated slopes. Favorable climatic conditions, with good temperature variations between day and night, allow for the best preservation of aromas and acidity, ensuring freshness and depth in the wine. The harvest is manual, to select only perfectly ripe and healthy bunches.

Vinification and aging

After harvesting, the grapes are vinified in steel at controlled temperatures to enhance aromatic purity. This is followed by second fermentation in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico: the second fermentation occurs slowly, and the wine remains in contact with its yeasts for at least 24 months of aging on the fine lees. This long period allows for the development of complex notes and a fine, persistent bubble. The dosage is zero, meaning no added sugar after disgorgement, to maintain the freshness and authenticity of the wine.
