Veneto, ItalyVintage: NV

This wine is incredibly drinkable and will appeal to the palate of Prosecco aficionados as well as those after a decent party sparkler.
In the glass, it announces itself to the eye with an intense straw yellow colour, crossed by a fine and persistent perlage (bubbles). The nose has mainly herbaceous sensations and fruity hints, enhanced by light touches of bread crust. On the palate, it is light-bodied and balanced, with a mouthfeel characterised by a savoury and mineral vein.
Made from Glera, Verdiso and Perera grapes from 25-30-year-old vines grown according to natural and environmentally friendly methods.

Description
Nestled at the heart of the Conegliano-Valdobbiaddene hills, in the classified region Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G., Duca di Dolle produce quality sparkling wine at the highest level. The Estate’s focus is to make iconic sparkling wines, which make the most of the unique conditions of this area. The estate itself is an old monastery from the 16th century surrounded by 70 year old vineyards, located in the small hamlet of Rolle, right in the heart of the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. From pruning to harvesting, all activities are carried out by hand, with a lower yield per hectare than that required by the specifications.
This “BRT” Duca di Dolle is a Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore Brut made from a high percentage of Glera grapes, alongside which we also find 5% of Verdiso and 5% of Perera. The vines of these three different varieties are grown in vineyards that are approximately 25-30 years old, facing south and characterised by a mineral-rich subsoil. The grapes are harvested by hand towards the end of September and fermented for the first time in steel tanks. Secondary fermentation takes place at low temperatures in autoclaves, following the production principles of the Charmat or Martinotti method, and at the end of this phase bottling and marketing take place.
