And we too walk the path of the Martinotti Method. Because it is a piece of all-Italian history, because a glass of bubbles induces an immediate smile, because the Passerina vine benefits from the second fermentation in an autoclave which amplifies its wheel of perfumes, maintaining its freshness and salinity. Passerina Brut carries with it an imaginary made of joy and celebrations. With this spirit we vinify it in the hope that, once in your glasses, it will be as much a source of happiness for you as it is for us to produce it. An explosion of wild flowers, hints of cedar, tasty snuff-box peaches and crunchy white cherries.

The harvest takes place manually in crates between the second and fourth week of August. The vinification is in white in a pneumatic press with separation of the 1st and 2nd pressing. After 12 hours of decantation at 15°C, inoculation of selected yeasts for fermentation partly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and partly in barriques. Malolactic fermentation and racking precede the assembly of the Cuvée which in spring, after the addition of the "draught syrup", is bottled, capped with a crown cap and laid down in a pile for the second fermentation. For maturation and refinement, the stacked bottles remain at least 36 months in the rooms of our cellars before the "remuage". Subsequently disgorged and dosed "Brut" receive the mushroom cap and the cage. Finally, at least three months of further aging are necessary before placing this Franciacorta on the market.

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!

It has recently arrived and has already received various awards, including the Gilbert & Gaillard Gold Medal 2021.This DOC sparkling wine comes from the union of Glera and Pinot Noir grapes. Both have been cultivated for generations in our territory.The harvest of the two varieties takes place at different times. The maturation of the Pinot Noir is reached at the end of August while the Glera is ready to be harvested after the second half of September. The grapes are therefore vinified separately. Only afterwards is the blend between the two base wines carried out and thanks to the activity of the selected yeasts does a slow refermentation take place in an autoclave (Martinotti method - Charmat sparkling process) during which the base wine becomes sparkling and is then left to mature on the lees for at least 60 days. The delicate soft pink color is given by the skins of Pinot Noir grapes rich in pigments called anthocyanins. The aromatic bouquet, on the other hand, comes from the union of the two varieties: the hints of small red fruits from the Pinot Noir and the descriptors of white-fleshed fruit such as pear and apple come from the Glera bunches.In this way we obtain a sparkling wine suitable for numerous occasions and in great demand all over the world. Perfect for a romantic dinner or a summer aperitif with friends.

The Glera grapes used for the production of this sparkling wine come from vineyards located in the plains, on the outskirts of Treviso. The bunches are generally harvested in September at medium ripeness in order to preserve the acid component, which is important in the production of Prosecco Spumante. After the harvest, the grapes are subjected to a light pressing and a slow fermentation in steel tanks. Finally, the refermentation in autoclave (sparkling) follows the Charmat method.

The grapes are harvested rigorously by hand after being ripened in the rows on the hills. Here the sun exposure is optimal and the temperature range between night and day allows to obtain a must (grape juice) with good acidity. This is one of the necessary conditions to have an excellent Classic Method sparkling wine.The grape juice is fermented in steel tanks. During this phase, the oenological yeasts transform the sugar into alcohol. At the end of this process we obtain the base wine. This is bottled together with other selected yeasts and a small amount of sugar. Here the alcoholic refermentation takes place (prise de mousse) and the wine becomes sparkling. It then rests on the lees for more than 18 months.The bottles are then slowly tilted to convey the yeasts towards the neck of the bottle. At the end they will be in a semi-vertical position with the cap facing downwards. After the maturation period, the "dégorgement" also called "disgorgement" is carried out. This step allows the elimination of the sedimented yeasts on the neck of the bottle, leaving the sparkling wine limpid. This is followed by capping with a cork stopper and aging in the bottle for a minimum period of 2 years.

Brut Sparkling Wines: A Complete Guide to Italian Sparkling Wines
Bubbles have always been associated with celebrations and special moments. Brut sparkling wines are one of the most loved and widespread types in Italy. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything there is to know about Brut sparkling wines , from their production, tastes and pairings, to the best labels available on the market.
What is a Brut Sparkling Wine?
Brut sparkling wine is a sparkling wine characterized by a low amount of residual sugar. The term "Brut" refers to the level of sweetness of the wine, and in this case, indicates that the wine is dry, with less than 12 grams of residual sugar per litre. This makes it a very popular choice for those who prefer less sweet and more refreshing wines.
Method of Production
Brut sparkling wines are mainly produced using two methods: Classic Method and Charmat Method.
Classic method
The Classic Method is also known as the Traditional Method or Champenoise Method and 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 flavours. It is a long and complex method, 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, maintaining the freshness and fruitiness of the wine. This method is often used for younger and lighter sparkling wines.
Characteristics of Brut Sparkling Wines
Brut sparkling wines have several characteristics that make them unique and distinctive:
Lively acidity
The Bruts have a lively acidity that makes them fresh and inviting on the palate. This acidity balances out the lack of sweetness, creating a harmonious balance.
