| The roots of the vines that
yield this wine are sunk deep in clay and marine
sandstone. The grapes grow on steep hillsides
of morainic origin. In places, a soft, greenish
yellow stone protrudes from the soil. It is
called “molera” and it is not by
chance that this Prosecco has adopted the name.
Verdiso is also found in a proportion that does
not exceed 5% in this extraordinarily special
environment for grapes, which develop tones
of particular finesse, body and sapidity. Cold
maceration of the grapes before they are pressed
remarkably exalts the wine’s fruitiness.
