OPERE SERENISSIMA D.O.C.
GRAPE VARIETY
Chardonnay and Pinot Nero; the percentages may vary slightly with the different vintages.
VINIFICATION
Whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is put into controlled temperature tanks, where alcoholic fermentation takes placeat a temperature of 17-19 °C. The wine remains in the tanks to age until the following spring.
CHARACTERISTICS
A sparkling wine of a bright straw yellow colour with an intense fine and persistent perlage. Well-marked hints of ripe white fruits and a fragrant aroma of delicious bread crust and delicate flowery notes of small mountain flowers. Fresh, dry with a soft, flavoursome and persistent f inish. Its well-balanced acidity perfectly underlines the great personality and character of this wine.
FRESHNESS IN RIPE NOTES
In late August, after careful harvesting,
the wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
are aged until the following spring.
After assembling the two types of wine, it is bottled.
The bottles are placed in stacks for at least 24 months.
A complex procedure that requires
patient waiting and an accurate ritual.
In the centuries-old underground tunnels,
in a charming environment where silence
stops time, this wine matures
with personality and character, harmony and sweet aroma.
Fresh, dry and balanced.
THE SERENISSIMA REPUBLIC OF VENICE
The Serenissima Republic of Venice ruled until the end of the eighteenth century the Venetian territories and much of north-eastern Italy.
During this period, the production of fresh white wines in the Veneto hills found its most flourishing development: the Venetian aristocrats and rich merchants of Venice had built in these areas Palladian villas and estates, giving rise to what can be described as an aristocratic winemaking.
The vineyards of the Serenissima boasted a quality not common to other wines, not only thanks to the preparation of the environmental area but also to continuous innovation and the introduction of new viticulture techniques by the Venetian nobles.
SERENISSIMA D.O.C. AREA
The area of the “Serenissima” D.O.C. extends into the foothills placed as an arch between the Alps at north and the Po plain in the south.
The soils, depending on the hilly areas, have a volcanic or sedimentary origin; the soil coming from the sloughing of these rocks is on average superficial, with the widespread presence of skeleton that allows an excellent drainage of rainwater.
The vineyards are located in our estate of Crocetta del Montello.
