“and what counts most — your wine is derived from the heavens themselves, from vineyards bounded only by the starry sky and alive with flocks of pheasants.” That is the way Andrea Zanzotto described the “uniqueness of this terroir.” Rolle is its name and it is the heart of the confined zone where this celebrated Prosecco Passito is made and where the evolution of the drying grapes is attentively followed. An area where the particularly mild microclimate perfectly complements an extremely ancient terrain. Rocky deep down but crumbly on the surface, this fine soil has a balanced chemical composition and constant moisture so that it yields grapes that ripen slowly, very slowly.

Color: an intense golden yellow, whose consistency can be appreciated by rotating the wine in the goblet. The intensity and consistency of the “tears” indicate a marvelous stock of alcohol.
Bouquet: extraordinarily intense. Scents of ripe exotic fruit stand out in a natural aromatic complexity enhanced by notes of honey and acacia derived from the Prosecco and scrupulously preserved over time to render the sweetness of the Passito more complex.
Flavor: sapid and full with emerging delicate scents of cherries and ripe medlars. The softness and richness of extracts are vivacious and light at the same time. The sensation of aromatic sweetness is attenuated by the refreshing and spirited acidity that always increases the pleasure experienced on the palate.
