Nose
Intense, agreeable bouquet with typical flower and cytrus fruit sensations and a characteristic hint of green apple.
Palate
Well balanced between sweetness and roundness, acidulous in the mouth with slightly bitter aftertaste.
Growing Conditions
In the local Valdobbiadene dialect, “riva” means a single, specific vineyard located on the hills, often on a steep slope. Duca di Dolle Spumante Brut “Rive di Rolle” Cuvèe is made with Glera grapes cultivated in a single vineyard, with over 50-years-old plants. Thanks to the particular composition of soil and the favorable exposure, this “riva” continues to produce a small but high quality crop of fruit. A real Cru produced in limited and numbered quantity.
Appearance
A clear, bright wine, straw-yellow in colour, with a very fine and persistent perlage even after many minutes in the glass.
Food Pairing
Ideal as an aperitif, with fish and vegetable starters, not too spicy cured pork, delicate first and second courses.
