Product Notes
GRAPE VARIETY OR BLEND
Glera 85%, Pinot noir 15%.
TERROIR AND CLIMATE
The Glera grapes for our Prosecco DOC Treviso spumante brut are harvested from family-owned Glera and Pinot Noir vineyards located at the foot of the hills called “Colli Asolani” (within the province of Treviso, Veneto). These vineyards enjoy good sun exposure and benefit from the mild, temperate climate of the area. The typical soil composition of the Asolo area results in a fuller Prosecco with finer bubbles that give the wine a distinctive creamy texture.
YIELD
18 tons/ha. Estimated yield per plant: 7-8 kg.
WINEMAKING
The destemmed Glera grapes are soft pressed and immediately separated from skins. Primary fermentation occurs at low temperature in stainless steel tanks. On the other hand, crushed Pinot noir grapes undergo maceration in the style of a red wine. The juice is left in contact with the skins for 3-4 days to allow colour and aroma extraction from the skins. The winemaker then strains the juice from the skins into clean tanks where Pinot Noir completes its fermentation. The two base wines are blended for secondary fermentation in stainless steel pressure tanks (autoclaves) by the Charmat Method. The process lasts a minimum of 60 days. After achieving DOC certification, Prosecco Rosé is bottled under pressure using our state-of-the-art bottling line.
