Rive di Refrontolo Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore presents the essence of Prosecco in a refined and elegant version. Flavour, freshness and finesse are combined in a very pure expression. It conveys a dry and natural flavour, showing its maximum whole identity.
Colvendramé is the name of the hilly terrain on which this vineyard is located. It has excellent exposure to the sun and the climate is ideal for growing grapes. The term "Riv" refers to the steep slopes of the hillside, which are considered the best places to grow Glera grapes.
The soil has an ideal structure for growing grapes, with a high clay content. It is particularly rich in tuff, which characterises the wine.
The climate is mild. There are wide temperature variations between day and night, which is ideal for preserving the flavour and acidity of the grapes.
To achieve perfect ripening of the grapes, summer pruning is carried out in addition to the usual vineyard maintenance. The harvest is also kept very low to produce grapes with rich body and flavour.
Harvest in mid-September, by hand in small boxes.
Pressing of all grapes at a controlled temperature. The second fermentation is carried out according to the "Italian method" in pressurised tanks.
Fine and persistent perlage, light straw colour with a distinct greenish tinge. Intense aroma with notes of white flowers, lily of the valley and green apple. The flavour is dry and harmonious, persistent and pleasantly savoury.
