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!
Souvignier Gris is a vine resistant* to fungal diseases, it was created by crossing the Seyval variety with the Zahringer in 1983 in Germany. The bunches of grapes are harvested at the beginning of September, once they reach the cellar they are pressed and the must is left to macerate on the skins for a few days. This gives the characteristic color and enriches the aromatic bouquet. At the end of this process the alcoholic fermentation starts in stainless steel containers. Maturation follows, which for 30% of the mass takes place in new wooden barriques and continues for about six months. This is where the spicy aromas and the particular warm and rich flavor originate. After which the two masses are united again and following the blend is filtered and bottled to then be put on the market after a few months of rest in the bottle. * 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.

Spumante Col de Mez Rosé is produced with bunches of Pinot Noir and Raboso from the Quartier del Piave area. The grapes are harvested at mid-ripening to preserve the acid component. The harvest usually takes place at the end of August for Pinot Noir and in October for Raboso. After being harvested, the bunches arrive in the cellar where they undergo a short maceration with selected yeasts to preserve the typicality of the product as much as possible. Finally, the sparkling process takes place using the Charmat Method in an autoclave.
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.
The Chardonnay Marca Trevigiana IGT is produced with grapes from vineyards in the province of Treviso, characterized by medium-textured soils and a cool, windy climate, ideal for preserving the product's fragrance and acidity. The harvest takes place at the end of August and the bunches are harvested when fully ripe to develop the aromatic component to the maximum. When the bunches reach the cellar, they are softly pressed and the must thus obtained is fermented for a long period at a controlled temperature using selected yeasts to preserve the typicality of the product as much as possible. The vintage product is bottled starting in December and after a short maturation in the bottle it is ready for consumption. Chardonnay is one of the largest white grape varieties in the world. Born in Burgundy, it has now spread all over the globe. In fact, it has an incredible variety of aromatic components, which emerge in different ways depending on the soils and climates where it is grown. In particular, in our areas, it is expressed through notes of peach, pineapple and citrus, followed by floral and mineral notes.
To produce this wine, grapes from vineyards located in the province of Treviso are used. Sauvignon, a semi-aromatic vine well known and appreciated all over the world. Once harvested, the grapes are taken to the cellar where they are pressed and the must obtained is fermented in large stainless steel containers. During the vinification, the technicians pay close attention in order to preserve the typical primary aromas of the grapes and obtain a fine wine.

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.
Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG Col De Mez is produced with Glera grapes ripened on the vineyards of the historic hill called Col de Mez. The harvest takes place in September and is strictly manual. It is also called the "heroic harvest" precisely because picking the grapes in these rows is not easy at all. The slopes are steep, the hills craggy, each operation requires attention and experience. In the Extra Dry version, it goes perfectly with dishes with a delicate flavor and with any fish-based dish.
It recently arrived and has already received various awards, including the Gilbert & Gaillard 2021 Gold Medal. This DOC sparkling wine comes from the union of Glera and Pinot Noir grapes. Both have been grown for generations in our area. 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, arises 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.​​​​​​
This sparkling wine comes from the golden bunches of Glera grapes that ripen in the vineyards located in the Montello and Colli Asolani area. This is an area suited to the cultivation of vines. The optimal pedoclimatic environment gives the bunches a high quality level. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, generally in the first days of September and immediately taken to the cellar. Here they are pressed and the must fermented in stainless steel containers. This is followed by the sparkling process in an autoclave according to the Charmat method. In the Extra Brut version, fresh and savory, it receives the favorable opinions of the most expert tasters.
