• WINEMAKER: Bisson team

• FARMING: Sustainable farming practices; committed to environmentally-friendly methods that promote soil health and biodiversity.

• VARIETY: 100% Glera

• TERROIR: Sourced from the Marca Trevigiana area in the Veneto, this region benefits from a combination of hilly terrain and a temperate climate. The area’s diverse soils, primarily alluvial, lend themselves perfectly to the cultivation of Glera, offering vibrant acidity and a crisp, clean profile. The proximity to the Dolomites ensures that cool night temperatures preserve the aromatic freshness of the grapes.

• VINIFICATION: The Glera grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a soft pressing to extract the freshest juice. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright fruit flavors. A second fermentation occurs in closed tanks to create the natural, light frizzante (slightly sparkling) character.

• AGING: Aged on the lees for several months to enhance complexity and mouthfeel, while preserving the wine's refreshing character.

• TASTING NOTES: This Vino Frizzante offers a lively bouquet of fresh green apple, pear, and citrus zest, with subtle floral notes of white blossoms. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a fine effervescence that adds an invigorating touch. The wine’s vibrant acidity balances its light sweetness, making it perfect for sipping or pairing with a variety of dishes.

• FOOD PAIRINGS: Excellent as an aperitif, this wine pairs wonderfully with light appetizers such as bruschetta, seafood, fresh mozzarella, or a crisp salad. It also complements Asian cuisine, particularly sushi or lightly spiced dishes.

• SCORES: 90 Points – Wine Spectator; 89 Points – Decanter
