AL CANEVON AZ AGR SS : Land Tradition Culture, 40 years of passion in winemaking

Al Canevon is a family-run business founded in 1970, located in the heart of the Prosecco Superiore Conegliano Valdobbiadene Docg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Vineyard

Its uniqueness is demonstrated by the 40 hectares of land that are totally planted with glera and are all located on a single plot in Collalbrigo. Additionally, there are vineyards in Valdobbiadene.

The stunning beauty of the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Docg is distinguished to the south by the Adriatic Sea and to the north by the Prealps; this location ensures a temperate environment, provided by constant ventilation and the right amount of rainfall, which has a favorable effect on the grape cultivation, making them distinctive.

The first wine produced dates back to 1940, the naturally fermented sparkling wine, also called “El vin del nono”, produced by grandfather Giuseppe (Bepi for friends), who used the natural fermentation technique made on yeasts.

Even today this wine continues to be produced with pride by the company which has dedicated the label to “Nono Bepi”.

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.
