Harvest

In August 2009, upon receiving its own D.O.C.G., the Consorzio per la Tutela del Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene made the decision to revert the name of the grape, Prosecco, to its ancestral name, Glera. Balby and Cosmo were the two original clones of Glera.

Winemaking

• All vinification in stainless steel
• Grapes are de-stemmed and gently pressed, then the must is left at 48-50°F for about 12 hours to allow the heavy deposit to settle; the clear must is then drawn off and fermented
• Fermentation lasts for 15-20 days
• Yeasts and sugar are added to trigger the second fermentation

More from this Producer

SommarivaRosato Spumante Brut “Il Rosa”

While this Spumante, like the Prosecco, is also made with grapes grown in the hills of Conegliano, Il Rosa consists of the aromatic, local Raboso variety blended with Pinot Nero rather than the Glera grape that goes into Prosecco.

SommarivaRive di Collalbrigo Costa Extra Brut

This Cru Extra Brut is the interpretation that Sommariva gives to the culture of modern consumption, a Prosecco Superiore Docg that winks at the pleasure of conviviality without giving up the religious quality linked to its own micro-zone of choice, the Riva di Collalbrigo Costa.
