Characteristics:

Production Area
>    The area, close to the Venetian Prealps, has a temperate climate with mild winters and fresh summers. The wide temperature range     
     stimulates an increased production of aromatic compounds, which result in finer and more intense aromas.
>    The diversity of soils, sun exposure, slopes make this Prosecco a very complex wine.

Production Process
>    The grapes are hand-picked allowing to:
    > prevent the presence of material that could negatively influence the wine’s sensory profile (pieces of leaves, branches, pieces of bark);
    > reduce the crushing and breaking of the grapes with the leaking of must (mashing) and its subsequent premature oxidation, which
         would result in a decrease of the phenolic potential;
    > decrease the percentage of grapes or bunches that are diseased or not perfectly ripe.
>    The grapes are softly pressed and the obtained must is stored at low temperature to preserve its freshness.
>    The fermentation takes place in cuve close, according to the Martinotti method. The single fermentation, carried out starting from
     the must (100%), allows to conserve the primary aromas of the grape: the wine is then characterized by more complex and
     persistent scents. The entire process lasts about 40 days at a controlled temperature of 14-15° C with the addition of selected yeasts.
>    Following fermentation, the wine is left in contact with the lees: thedead yeast cells release some important compounds which enhance
     the body, the structure and the aroma of the wine.
