Vineyards

Everything is strictly, Organic: the grapes are hand harvested, only indigenous yeasts are used and vinification is carried out according to the, Bio-dynamic calendar.

Vinification

The extraordinary Colfondo is made from 100% Glera grapes and fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel tanks and wooden vats. The wine is left outside over winter in very low temperatures to stabilise and the resulting wine is bottled without being filtered.

Tasting Notes

A lively straw yellow in colour with an excellent mousse. On the nose, hints of pears, apples and candied lemon. Medium-bodied and lively on the palate. The residual yeast present in the bottle gives up a soft and balanced acidity.
