Notes

Jewel among the sparkling wines of Azienda Agricola Rive della Chiesa the Prosecco Brut DOC Treviso is prepared with only the best Glera grapes harvested by hand in the estate’s vineyards. Thanks to a scrupu-lous selection made during the harvest this wine represents the perfect marriage of the pleasantness (and “youth”) of Glera vine quality, the alcoholic strength and the extract that only a soil, so rich in mineral components like the Montello hills, can give to the grapes. After a mac-eration carried out at a strictly controlled low temperature the wine ferments at 14°C for about two weeks in stainless still tanks. Its qualities are due to the selected yeast that harvest by harvest the estate choose. Prelude to all this is a severe management of the vineyards and of the production per hectare. The taste remind to the Golden apple, exotic fruits and withered wild flowers. Great concentration with a unexpected long finish.
