Description:
Its most attractive qualities are enfolded in delicate scents of crisp citrus and fresh vegetables, often complemented by lovely notes of fresh-baked bread followed by a vibrant palate. Its delicate bead of pin-point bubbles bolsters and prolongs its flavours and cleanliness on the palate, and heightens its value as a partner with food. Its most attractive elements are encapsulated in the inviting sweetness of vegetable and heady citrus aromas together with a note of fresh bread, combined with a lively and pleasant taste.

Region – Veneto, Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene is a small village set in the vine-chequered mosaic of the Prosecco hills. Le Colture has grown wines here since the 1500s, under the guidance of the same family. In 1983, Cesare Ruggeri launched its entry into the field of sparkling wines, and today it boasts an extraordinary heritage of expertise--know-how spread over a vast array of its own production secrets, both great and small; a deep understanding of its entire growing area and its vineyards; and an inborn sensitivity to the health and well-being of each vineyard. For some years now, Cesare’s three children, Silvia, Alberto, and Veronica, have been intensely involved in winery activities, bringing to its operation a surge of enthusiasm and the invaluable innovative spirit characteristic of the young generations, without however forgetting love for their own land and respect for winemaking traditions
Wine Making:
The grapes are harvested from mid-September until mid-October. Vinification: a soft pressing of the grapes, fermentation of the must in absence of skins at a controlled temperature. After removing the accumulated foam the second fermentation takes place in closed steel vats with the Charmat method at a controlled temperature
Style:
Easy & Fruity
Dominant Flavour:
Citrus
Bread
Green Fruit
Food Pairings:
The thin perlage ensures the persistence of taste and freshness in the palate combined with its adaptability to be matched with a wide range of food, although it is particularly appreciated served at a temperature of 7/9 °C with simple and more creative fish and vegetable antipasti, seafood pasta dishes and roast fish or even, as usual in the production area, to be drunk throughout the entire meal.
