Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore – Extra Dry – Col Vetoraz

The Prosecco Extra Dry of the Col Vetoraz winery 

The prosecco extra dry of the Col Vetoraz winery is produced with 100% Glera grapes from the estate vineyards, which are all located on the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, here the pre-Alps guarantee a sort of natural shield and a perfect temperature range for growing grapes. We find ourselves in an ideal condition for the grapes’ ripening and, consequently, for producing this sparkling wine.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest generally takes place between 15 and 30 September. Once in the cellar, the winemaking starts with the grapes pressing and the static decantation of the must; the fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature.
The wine then ages in steel tanks, on the noble lees, for at least three months.; the second fermentation takes place with the Martinotti method. Once the sparkling process is complete, the wine is bottled and left to rest for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

Tasting the wine of the winery

Straw yellow, with a fine and persistent perlage; the aroma is elegant with pleasant floral notes reminiscent of rose followed by hints of citrus fruit that intertwine with puffs of fruit among which apple, pear and peach prevail; to close hints of acacia are also perceived. Delicate and pleasantly savoury on the palate with an excellent correspondence between aromas and flavour.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with fish and cold cuts. Try it with savoury pies
