ORIGIN

TERROIR

The territory is Montebelluna, the heart of Prosecco, Unesco heritage hills. The grape that reigns supreme here is Glera, which can be vinified alone or together with other white grape varieties more or less known such as Verdiso, Bianchetta, Perera, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Gris but also black grapes varieties such as Pinot Noir.

The Prosecco territories are for the most part hilly, where it is difficult to work with machines. The vineyards are practically all cultivated and harvested by hand. The hills originated millions of years ago from the raising of the seabed. Once, in fact, the entire area was below sea level, sea currents have brought numerous debris to these areas that have deposited layer by layer. So here are marls, clays, sandstones and muds.
Subsequently, during the orogenesis process, these sea beds emerged thus giving rise to the various reliefs that make up the territory. Part of the hills, then, also underwent a modeling by the Dolomite glaciers that covered them: once they retreated, they left numerous sediments. Hence, after a process that lasted millions of years, today we find different compositions of the subsoil: above a rocky layer there are various layers composed of clays, marls, muds, sand, conglomerates of limestone and sandstone origin.

WINERY

The Zanotto winery is located in Montebelluna, in the province of Treviso, in the heart of the Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene area.
Here, Riccardo Zanotto has developed a very precise idea of how a wine should be made and told: in his, we find the stories of the past, those aromas and flavors that made him fall in love with his land and the Italian territories that he went through, lived and loved. Inside each bottle, Riccardo puts his idea of wine.

He has rediscovered the wines with the bottom, the vinification of the past, with the second fermentation that takes place through the spontaneous refermentation in the bottle.

Savoring them means experiencing the flavors of the past; for him, in fact, wine gives its best if lived as it once was: tasted in the company of friends.
