Description
The Cuvée 1926 Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG celebrates Valdo's history. It is an unusual blend of Glera and Chardonnay grapes that involves a brief maceration of the skins before fermentation, to give the sparkling wine an even more unique character. It was precisely in 1926 that the first bottle was opened in the Valdo winery, and this Prosecco Superiore aims to celebrate its history.
