WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Valdobbiadene Extra Dry Prosecco 2022 is made from 100% Glera grapes. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures with selected yeasts. The secondary fermentation, essential for its sparkling nature, is carried out using the Charmat method in autoclaves over 25 to 30 days. This is followed by a refinement period of approximately three months. The grapes are sourced from hillside vineyards cultivated using the traditional 'modified cappuccina' method, with harvesting typically taking place in the latter half of September.
