Johanniter is a white grape variety resistant to fungal diseases created from the cross between Riesling and Freiburg 589-54 several decades ago, in 1968 in Germany. The grapes are harvested towards the end of August. As soon as they arrive in the cellar, the bunches are softly pressed and the must is fermented in steel tanks. Once the base wine has been obtained, the second fermentation takes place, i.e. the sparkling process according to the Charmat Method. * resistant vine: it is a vine obtained from interspecific crossings aimed at lowering the susceptibility of the plant towards cryptogamic diseases (such as downy mildew and powdery mildew) and low temperatures. In this way a stronger plant is obtained and consequently viticulture becomes ethically and ecologically more sustainable both for man and for the environment. The resulting wines are healthier and qualitatively not inferior to the conventional ones we usually consume. In Italy, the cultivation of 10 resistant grape varieties is currently permitted. Colli del Soligo offers two, Souvignier Gris in the still wine version and Johanniter in the sparkling version. Taste to know. Don't miss the opportunity, taste it!

For our Pinot Nero Levigato IGT Marca Trevigiana, the grapes from the vineyards in the municipalities of Arcade, Spresiano, Ponzano Veneto, Povegliano and Villorba are used. The soils, which are of medium texture, enjoy a cool and windy climate, ideal for preserving the fragrance and acidity of the product. The harvest generally takes place in the second half of September. After harvesting, the grapes reach the cellar where fermentation on the skins begins, which lasts about twenty days in steel vats. Immediately after racking, the product ages in barrique and tonneau for about 12 months. Subsequently it is decanted into oak barrels with a capacity of 30 hectoliters where it continues aging for a few months. Pinot Noir is a pretty bizarre grape and it certainly is among the most difficult to cultivate and make wine. Historically it was born in the French region of Burgundy, where they have been cultivating it for over 2,000 years.
