Valdobbiadene DOCG Sui Lieviti Brut Nature

Our Valdobbiadene DOCG “Sui Lieviti” is the result of the vinification and in-bottle frothing of a single vineyard in Saccol di Valdobbiadene, the Croset Vineyard, the most historic of our winery’s vineyards, planted in 1935. The presence of centuries-old vines and extreme slopes have allowed this vineyard to be registered in the register of heroic viticulture by CERVIM. This sparkling wine is distinguished by the presence of a deposit of fine lees at the bottom of the bottle, a guarantee of refermentation in the bottle, which can naturally preserve the wine over time in the absence of free sulfites. Bottle frothing also leads to the complete exhaustion of residual sugar (Brut Nature).
