Winemaking: Organically grapes were harvested by hand and spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeast in concrete after a 2 day maceration. The wine rested here until Spring. The change in temperature brings a bout a second fermentation and at this point the wine was bottled in order to trap fizz and sediment inside (Col Fondo method). No fining or filtration and just minimal sulphur added.

This Wine: Natural Prosecco, a rare thing! This has such great depth and concentration with a light to medium body. Vibrant orchard fruit flavours and a golden colour in the glass. This drinks well by itself but also pairs well with light food dishes. 

Notes on the Winemaker: The Zago family have been making wine in Valdobbiadene for 5 generations. The 6 hectares of vines have always been organic but current winemaker Christian Zago has taken things a step further by adopting biodynamic farming practices. These are outstanding Prosecco wines full of complexity and character.
