Description
The Cuvée del Fondatore Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Single vintage is produced with grapes from a single harvest. This is a quality blend achieved using a particular sparkling process that includes a partial perfecting in French oak barriques for the Chardonnay part that makes up the sparkling wine. The bottle fermentation in pressurised vat for at least 9 months provides an extremely fine, creamy perlage that goes surprisingly well with the sensations given from the barrique: innovation in tradition, the taste that pays homage to the winery's Founder, Sergio Bolla.
