Drusian presents the new Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Colfosco

The three-year project "Le RIVE, our FIEREZZA" is enriched with the second Valdobbiadene DOCG which enhances the Glera grapes produced from a single vineyard, chosen from one of the Rive owned by the Drusian farm.

A small vineyard located at 150 meters above sea level, surrounded by woods and which benefits from constant ventilation, decisive factors for preserving the freshness and aroma that only the Glera grapes grown on the hills are able to bring.

We are in Colfosco, a hamlet of Susegana, in the province of Treviso: here is born the second wine that becomes part of the three-year project called " Le RIVE, our FIEREZZA " created by the Drusian farm , a historic reality that operates in the heart of the hills of Prosecco di Conegliano and Valdobbiadene DOCG, UNESCO World Heritage.

"After the debut of the Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Collalto in 2022, the time has now come to present the second wine that becomes part of our project dedicated to enhancing the Rive" says Francesco Drusian , third generation at the helm of the family business which with 80 hectares of vineyards represents one of the largest properties within the territory of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG appellation . exposure and microclimate, which gives the grapes grown in that particular vineyard unique characteristics ”.

The new Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Colfosco was born on a clayey and compact soil, characterized by warm brown tones and interspersed with rocks that contribute to giving a typical mineral character to this Valdobbiadene DOCG which is obtained with the second fermentation in an autoclave, according to the Martinotti Method -Charmat, with a long stay on the lees for 140 days. “ The particular microclimate present in Colfosco allows, even in years in which particularly high temperatures are reached, to preserve the fundamental aromaticity of the Glera grapes ”.

In the glass the Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Colfosco has a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. Its perlage is particularly fine and persistent and is expressed on the nose with the characteristic notes reminiscent of the Golden apple, together with delicate hints of acacia and hawthorn flowers. On the palate it has a sip of great freshness, with a mineral and fruity finish of excellent persistence and harmony. Served in a large tulip-shaped glass, to allow its aromas to emerge naturally, and at a temperature of 6-8 °C, it can accompany many culinary preparations, in particular second courses based on fish, even raw, and meat white.

Produced in just 6600 bottles in a limited edition, Valdobbiadene DOCG Rive di Colfosco is available from May and recommended for sale in wine shops at a price of 16/18 euros.
