Sutto
The territory from which our Prosecco DOC comes extends in the hills of the province of Treviso, in the DOC production area and covers a set of territories that follow one another from the plain up to the Venetian heights. From here comes a fragile and generous vine: the Glera, delicately tended by hand, due to the nature of the steep, steep and difficult terrains in which it lives. This grape transformed into wine takes the famous name of Prosecco, one of the most drunk wines in the world. Delicate aromas and refined flavors that arise from the perfect symbiosis between a mild microclimate, strengthened by a remarkable temperature range and an ancient soil, rich in limestone and clay, originating from the lifting of the seabed.

Kandèa F.lli Tullio Cataldo
The grape variety chosen for the spumante base of Bolla d'Oro is the "Bombino Bianco". Its ancient origins probably date back to the challenge of Barletta and the Spaniards. It prefers deep, draining soils and is certainly one of the most interesting grapes for sparkling wine. Bolla D'oro is born from the application of the long charmat method, with a fermentation period of no less than 40 days sur lie which gives an absolutely unique and original roundness and fullness to the tasting (texture), enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. Vin de fete, with a great personality and an intriguing bouquet in which notes of apricot and white peach predominate with white flowers (blossom) and dried fruit intruding on the finish.

Colli del Soligo
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!

Brut Sparkling Wines: A Complete Guide to Italian Bubbles
Sparkling wines have always been associated with celebrations and special moments. Brut sparkling wines are one of the most beloved and popular types in Italy. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything there is to know about Brut sparkling wines , from their production, to flavors and pairings, to the best labels available on the market.
What is a Brut Sparkling Wine?
Brut sparkling wine is a semi-sparkling wine characterized by a low residual sugar content. The term "Brut" refers to the wine's sweetness, and in this case, indicates that the wine is dry, with a residual sugar content of less than 12 grams per liter. This makes it a popular choice for those who prefer less sweet and more refreshing wines.
Production Method
Brut sparkling wines are produced using two main methods: the Classic Method and the Charmat Method.
Classic Method
The Classic Method, also known as the Traditional Method or the Champenoise Method, is the method used to produce Champagne. In this process, the base wine ferments a second time in the bottle, creating natural bubbles and enriching the aromas and flavors. It's a long and complex process, but the result is a wine of great elegance and structure.
Charmat Method
The Charmat Method, also known as the Italian Method, is a faster and more efficient process. The base wine ferments a second time in large stainless steel tanks, preserving the wine's freshness and fruitiness. This method is often used for younger, lighter sparkling wines.
Characteristics of Brut Sparkling Wines
Brut sparkling wines have several characteristics that make them unique and distinctive:
Lively Acidity
Bruts have a lively acidity that makes them fresh and inviting on the palate. This acidity balances the lack of sweetness, creating a harmonious balance.
Fruity Flavors
Brut sparkling wines offer a wide array of fruity aromas, such as green apple, citrus, and white peach. These fresh, fruity aromas make these wines ideal as an aperitif or to accompany light dishes.
Fine and persistent bubbles
The bubbles of Brut sparkling wines are fine and persistent, creating a pleasant sensation of fizz in the mouth.
Versatility in pairings
Thanks to their acidity and structure, Brut sparkling wines pair well with a wide range of foods, from seafood to white meats, and are also perfect enjoyed on their own at festive times.
The Best Italian Brut Sparkling Wine Labels
Italy boasts a vast selection of Brut sparkling wines , produced in various regions of the country. Here are some of the best labels to try:

2. Ca' del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Brut

4. La Gioiosa Prosecco Superiore Brut
If you prefer a lighter option, La Gioiosa Prosecco Superiore Brut from the Veneto region is the ideal choice. Delicate and aromatic, it's perfect for a cheerful toast.
The History of Brut Sparkling Wines
The tradition of sparkling wines in Italy has ancient roots, dating back to ancient Rome. However, the success of Brut sparkling wines as we know them today is primarily linked to the Champagne region of France, where the Metodo Classico (traditional method) took hold in the 17th century. Since then, this production style has spread throughout Italy, giving rise to the delicious Brut sparkling wines we love and appreciate today.
How to Store and Serve Brut Sparkling Wines
To fully enjoy the bubbles of Brut sparkling wines , it is essential to store and serve them correctly.
Conservation
Store Brut sparkling wines in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid sudden temperature changes and store them horizontally to keep the cork moist.
Service
