VITICULTURE / VINIFICATION

• Grapes are hand-harvested
• Natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks
• Aging in stainless steel on fine lees for 3 to 5 months

Prosecco Treviso Sui Lieviti:
• Hillside vineyards in Premaor, Miane, Refrontolo, and Rua Feletto (within the DOCG Conegliano - Valdobbiadene)
• Wine is not labeled as a DOCG because the Gregolettos choose to use a crown cap, which is not permitted, although they find it is by far the best closure for producing this style of wine with a secondary fermentation in bottle.
• Primary fermentation in stainless steel, then bottled by hand along with a small amount of natural liqueur made from their own grapes that triggers fermentation in bottle.
• The secondary fermentation continues in bottle over an indeterminable amount of time, in fact each bottle is slightly different. Vino vivente! Living wine!
• Aged in bottle for 60 days before release

Colli Trevigiani Verdiso frizzante “Sui Lievi Erti” :

•Aged in stainless steel for six months on fine lees, then bottled by hand along with a small amount of natural liqueur made from their own grapes that triggers secondary fermentation in bottle
•Crown cap closure
•“Sui Lievi Erti” means “on gentle slopes,”' and is a homonym for “sui lieviti” meaning “on the lees”––an indication the wine undergoes its second fermentation in bottle. Only their Prosecco is allowed this mention on the label, so they instead use a play on words for the Verdiso frizzante.

Colli Trevigiani Verdiso:
• Verdiso is a native grape variety to the foothills of Treviso and was first documented in the area more than 200 years ago
• Hillside vineyards in Premaor and Miane

Colli Trevigiani Manzoni Bianco:
• Manzoni Bianco is a hybrid of Pinot Blanc and Riesling
• Aged in stainless steel tank on fine lees for 8 months

Colli Trevigiani Merlot:
• Fermented in cement tank for 3 weeks with pumpovers and pounchdowns
• Aged one year in botte grande (large cask)
