The estate was founded when Ettore Anselmi planted the family farm to vines in 1937, and is today led by his grandsons Giuseppe and Luigi, the latter a graduate of the enology school of San Michele all'Adige in Trentino. The family's 400-hectare property, of which 90 are planted to vine, spans the Latisana sub-zone of the Friuli DOC and a smaller parcel in the Collio DOC. The Prosecco fruit comes from a distinct 8-hectare holding of Glera vines around the village of Pocenia, just south of Udine, vinified and bottled on-site using the family's own sparkling wine bottling line.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luigi Anselmi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable.

The Friulian plain is defined by alluvial and marl-based soils and subject to the Bora — a strong, dry northeast wind descending from the Karst plateau — which plays a central role in maintaining vine health, preserving aromatic intensity, and reinforcing freshness and minerality in the finished wine. High-density planting limits crop load per vine, concentrating flavors. The Adriatic to the south moderates temperatures and extends the aromatic development of Glera through the growing season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVINIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charmat method (Martinotti); secondary fermentation in pressurized autoclave tanks to preserve the fresh, primary fruit character and fine perlage characteristic of the style.
