Fagher · Prosecco Spumante Brut DOCG (2024)

  This Prosecco represents the pinnacle of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG quality pyramid, originating from one of the exclusive 'Rive' vineyards. In the local dialect, 'Rive' refers to the steep, often extreme slopes that define this unique landscape. Unlike Prosecco produced in the flat plains where mechanical harvesting is the norm, this wine demands everything from the winemakers: practicing so-called 'heroic viticulture,'' the grapes here are tended to and harvested exclusively by hand. This deliberate choice to cultivate the steepest slopes with strictly limited yields ensures that only the finest, most aromatic grapes make it into the bottle.

In the glass, this Prosecco reveals the true character of its terroir, offering an experience far beyond the simple fruitiness of a standard Prosecco. The specific microclimate of the steep slope—characterized by intense sunlight, optimal soil drainage, and cool nightly breezes—imbues the wine with unmistakable structure, profound minerality, and elegant finesse. As a vintage sparkling wine (Millesimato), it tells the story of a specific year and a specific hillside. It is not merely a sparkling wine for mass consumption, but a complex, terroir-driven experience for connoisseurs seeking the authentic soul of Valdobbiadene. - Gerardo [TS10/25]
