This fantastic sparkeler comes from the hillside vineyards in Premaor, Miane, Refrontolo, and Rua Feletto (within the DOCG Conegliano - Valdobbiadene). The wine is not labeled as a DOCG because the Gregolettos choose to use a crown cap, which is not permitted, although they find it is by far the best closure for producing this style of wine with a secondary fermentation in bottle.
Primary fermentation in stainless steel, then bottled by hand along with a small amount of natural liqueur made from their own grapes that triggers fermentation in bottle. The secondary fermentation continues in bottle over an indeterminable amount of time, in fact each bottle is slightly different. The result is a crisp, vibrant, fully dry sparkling wine with notes of fresh apples, lime, and stones.
