Single estate Prosecco DOC from Venice maniland.
The Glera grapes of our Civranetta estate are nourished with bands of “Caranto”, the ancient Pleistocene stratification, which is composed of compact clay-loam soils with calcareous nodules. The peculiar minerality of this soil, located near the Lagoon of Venice, conveys a complex aromatic balance to every single grape, while the proximity to the sea and to its winds gives them a distinctive sapidity, which increases their aromas. The first fermentation takes place after the grapes are pressed thanks to indigenous yeast. The base wine is kept at 4 °C in order to preserve aromas and freshness until its used for “spumantizzazione”. The second fermentation takes place once the wine
has been stabilized, using a Charmat method, and lasts at least 8 weeks, in
order to obtain a fine perlage.
