Borgo Antico Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Brut "Rive di Ogliano"

Borgo Antico Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Brut "Rive di Ogliano" / Veneto, Italy

Exceptionally refined and beautifully expressive, this Rive di Ogliano Extra Brut captures the precision and elegance of one of Conegliano Valdobbiadene's finest hillside crus. Delicate aromas of green apple, lemon zest and white peach are lifted by notes of elderflower, wild herbs and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is taut and beautifully focused, with a fine, persistent mousse, crisp citrus fruit and a pronounced mineral freshness. The Extra Brut dosage allows the purity of the fruit and the distinctive character of the vineyard to take centre stage, resulting in a sparkling wine of remarkable finesse and length. 

The "Rive" designation is reserved for some of the steepest and most prestigious vineyard sites within the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, where grapes are harvested entirely by hand from a single named hillside or village. Ogliano is one of these historic crus, producing wines renowned for their elegance, freshness and mineral precision. Made exclusively from 100% Glera, the wine undergoes a slow secondary fermentation using the traditional Martinotti (Charmat) method, preserving its delicate aromatics while showcasing the individuality of this exceptional site. The vintage (Millesimato) and Rive designation together highlight both the unique growing season and the singular terroir from which the wine originates. 

It is a happy coincidence that one of the best Italian restaurants in Winnipeg shares a name with this exceptional producer!
