Usually ready in 1 hour
Founded in 1890 and run today by third-generation winemaker Francesco Drusian, this family estate is rooted in the heart of Valdobbiadene. Drusian’s approach focuses on sustainability and tradition, crafting Prosecco that reflects the steep hills, cool breezes, and limestone soils of the region’s most historic vineyards.
WINEMAKER: Francesco Drusian
FARMING: Sustainable with organic practices, no herbicides or insecticides; grass cover crops and manual harvest.
VARIETY: 100% Glera
TERROIR: Sourced from estate vineyards in the rolling hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, known for their marl and sandstone soils, with a temperate climate and significant diurnal temperature variation that preserves acidity and aromatics.
VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested; gentle pressing and cold settling; primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts, followed by secondary fermentation in autoclave (Charmat/Martinotti method) to preserve freshness and purity.
AGING: Short maturation in stainless steel; bottled fresh to maintain vibrant aromatics.
TASTING NOTES: Lively and fragrant, with aromas of white peach, acacia blossom, and green apple. The palate is crisp, with fine bubbles, bright orchard fruit, and a delicate, dry finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfect as an aperitif, with shellfish, fresh salads, sushi, or light appetizers.
