Cuvee Brut Sparkling Wine
Production Area We are in the heart of the so-called Lower Friulian Plain which extends in an area between the Livenza river (to the west) and the Isonzo river (to the east) and between the resurgences and the sea. Following impressive reclamation works dating back to the early 20th century, the area is now richly cultivated.

Production Process After mechanical harvesting, grapes are cooled to preserve their distinctive aromas. This is followed by soft pressing and addition of selected yeasts for the first fermentation at a controlled temperature of 10-12°C. Second fermentation takes place in pressure tanks for 30 days to allow the proper work of the yeasts and create a subtle perlage. We proceed with cold stabilization and filtration; the sparkling wine is then bottled and packed.
Organoleptic Characteristics Straw yellow with greenish reflections, with a fine and persistent perlage. Notes of crunchy fruit emerge on the nose, balanced by a persistent freshness and minerality.
