THE CRU - The soul of the vineyard
MOLERA

Prosecco di Valdobbiadene
Denominazione di Origine Controllata

 

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.
