The wine pays homage to founder Eliseo Bisol, who was born in 1855. After 140 years, it seemed entirely fitting to honor his memory today by presenting the best of our production of Spumante Classico under the name Eliseo. In those 140 years, the house has consolidated its tradition, which was perpetuated by Desiderio, Eliseo Bisol’s son, who also restored the establishment after the heavy destruction of World War I.
The grapes that provide this cuvée consist of an exceptional assortment of Pinot Nero, Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay grown in selected vineyards in the upper hills. Extremely slow fermentation with carefully selected yeasts, prolonged maturation at a constant temperature of 12 degrees C. (54° F.) in the darkness of the cellar and, in particular, the diligent selection of the mixture for the liqueur d’expédition have yielded a cuvée that ranks at the peak of the Bisol Spumante Classico line.
