“Private Cuvée” Vino Spumante Brut Fabio Zardetto has created his own personal Cuvée—a blend of Glera (the new name for the Prosecco grape,) for long–lasting, expressive citrus notes; Chardonnay, for rich body and creamy texture; and Muscat, for fresh floral and grapey aromas. This fine Cuvée manages to be both playful and refined at the same time—sure to please even the most discerning palates.

VINTAGE: ______

Prosecco DOC Brut Made from Glera grapes sourced from various vineyards in the hilly part of the DOC region, northeast of Conegliano. The first fermentation takes place after a brief maceration,which enhances the typical citrus and tropical aromas of the Glera grapes. These intense, fruity aromas are preserved through the second fermentation, which takes place in large temperature controlled stainless steel containers.

“Tre Venti” Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Rive di Ogliano DOCG Brut

TreVenti, a limitededition single vineyardProsecco, is the result of FabioZardetto’s never-ending research into the Prosecco DOCG world. The hill of Ogliano enjoys a southern exposure where the term “rive” refers to the most prized part of the hill—much the same as “bricco,” “ronco,” and “poggio” are used in other regions in Italy. Moreover, the Tre Venti vineyard (located on the eastern border of the DOCG) is chilled during summer nights by a complex system of three winds (tre venti) blowing from the east. This effect allows the fruit-driven aromas and the fresh acidity of this Prosecco to develop slowly but fully.
