Terroir
Located in the prestigious Valdobbiadene area, we are proud to offer Rive di Colbertaldo, one of only 43 Rive in all of Prosecco that are recognized for their unique microclimates and top-quality wine. The steep hillside of this Rive requires the vineyards to be worked and harvested by hand. Rive di Colbertaldo sits at 1,150 ft above sea level just southeast of the town of Valdobbiadene. This rive enjoys greater fluctuations in day and night temperatures than other parts of the appellation, creating a unique microclimate that is expressed in the final wine.
Vinification
Grapes from this steep vineyard are hand-harvested to ensure only the best grapes from the subzone go into this wine. The grapes are gently pressed to maintain their natural characteristics. Cold maceration of the must in contact with skins to obtain aromatic features from the skins. Temperature-controlled
fermentation using the charmat method. This wine undergoes the long charmat method and is not released until the March after the harvest, giving the final wine a finer perlage, greater structure, and a more pronounced bouquet.
