WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ancillotto Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. Brut Millesimato 2023 is crafted from 100% Glera grapes. A distinctive feature is the 30% skin maceration, which is not typical for Prosecco. Following this, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in pressurized steel tanks using the Charmat-Martinotti method to create its effervescence. As a Millesimato, it represents a single vintage. The winemaking philosophy of the producer, Ancillotto & Ardenghi, is rooted in tradition and quality, aiming for 'better less, but better'.
