The bunches of Glera and Pinot Nero grapes from our Civranetta estate are nourished by layers of “caranto”, an ancient Pleistocene stratification composed of compact loamy-clayey soil with calcareous nodules. Located nearby Venice Lagoon, this soil is rich in minerality and conveys a complex aromatic balance to every single grape. The proximity of the sea and the sea breezes gives the grapes a characteristic flavor that enhances the aromas. The first fermentation takes place after the grapes are pressed in order to create a “base wine”. In this phase Glera and Pinot are separated. Once the wine has stabilized and the blend has been created, the second fermentation is started with the Charmat method. This lasts at least 10 weeks, in order to obtain a fine perlage.
