In 2001 the era of sparkling wine began.
The production of our wines fully respects the disciplinary that regulates the sparkling method of Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Docg.
The harvest, carried out entirely by hand, makes use of the plastic boxes “Bins” transported in refrigerated trucks from the countryside to the cellar, to ensure that the quality of the bunches just picked remains unaltered.
Once in the cellar, the grapes are subjected to soft pressing, an operation made using special machinery capable of gently squeezing the berries and thus obtaining only the first flower, the must which will then act as the basis for our Prosecco Docg.
Then follows the decantation, phase in which the cloudy must is left to rest cold (5-10 ° C) in steel tanks.
The sparkling process takes place in the Italian method called charmat, recognized today as the “Conegliano-Valdobbiadene method”, and involves the use of pressure-tight autoclaves in which the wine is combined with sugar and yeast in order to preserve the original aromas of the grapes. and thus to obtain that fruity and floral scent that distinguishes Prosecco Valdobbiadene Docg from any other sparkling wine.
40 days later the bottling takes place, the wine is thus ready to be placed on the market for its consumption.
