An unique wine deeply tied to its territory as it is produced with a method traditional to the “Marca Trevigiana” from many generations ago. Its name derives from the natural refermentation in the bottle, rest and storing in contact of its own lees with no invasive filtering. Its colour is a vivid straw-yellow, with a light perlage, fine and persistent. At the nose it expresses the fresh and fruity aromas typical of the Prosecco that, together with the characteristic “bread crusts” aromas, evolve through time until they become more and more complex, thanks to the contact with the lees. These notes are particularly captivating and varied, at the beginning in the mouth they are gently fruity with light hints of lees, and they express a higher complexity hereafter. The flavour is dry and pleasantly slightly bitter. 

Handpicking of the grapes’ whole bunches and subsequent soft pressing with pneumatic presses, cold static settling of the must and fermentation at controlled temperature (17-19°C) with selected yeasts. Refinement and maturation in contact with fine lees for five months in steel containers.

Second fermentation: traditional method used for many generations in the Treviso area, where the unfiltered wince is bottled along with its yeasts. In spring the wine is again fermented in the bottle, in a dark place and at an average temperature of 15-16°C- When this fermentation is complete, the lees will have settled in the bottom.

Fermentation and maturation in the bottle: about 4 months. 

Pair with: very enjoyable and refreshingly light when served on its own summertime. An ideal accompaniment for fish dishes or risotto with mushrooms or vegetables.

Serve: chill to 8-10°C just before serving. Pour gently into a carafe avoiding jerky movements to prevent any final clouding.

Recommended glass: a medium wine goblet. Champagne flutes are best avoided as they may display perfectly the perlage, but they prevent the bouquet from developing to its full potential.

Storage: in a cool and dark place. Do not keep in the refrigerator for long periods.

Drinking period: the best period to drink this wine is in the summertime through to the winter after harvesting.
