Where it comes from The grapes come from the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, in the province of Treviso. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes, cultivated with strict manual management. The presence of calcium-rich soils is fundamental in giving the wine its pronounced mineral character and distinct freshness . The viticultural approach aims to preserve the balance of each vine, enhancing the identity of the Venetian territory to ensure a decisive and authentic expression. How it is produced After manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and pressed. The must is immediately cooled to protect the aromatic component and ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The secondary fermentation takes place in a pressurised tank according to the Martinotti method , ideal for defining the delicate texture of the sparkling wine. Maturation continues in steel and concludes with a rest in the cellar for about thirty days, allowing the organoleptic profile to reach its final harmony.
