The Glera grapes are 100% harvested from vineyards on the Valdobbiadene hills, an area which is half way between Venice and the Dolomites. These vineyards are at an altitude of about 150mt above sea level, have good sun exposure and benefit from the mild, temperate climate of the area. The soil composition is a balanced combination of silt, clay and sand.

The destemmed grapes are soft pressed and the wine undergoes its primary fermentation in stainless steel vats at a low temperature. After about 10 days the wine has achieved a sufficient, yet low alcohol content and the primary fermentation is complete. Bubbles are developed naturally during the second fermentation, according to the Martinotti-Charmat method. The base wine is put into stainless steel tank called autoclaves, with selected local yeasts at controlled temperature for 30 days, which stimulate the production of natural bubbles of carbon dioxide in the wine. At the end of the process the wine is left with a very low residual sugar. After achieving DOCG certification, the Prosecco is bottled under pressure to preserve the bubbles, using the bottle approved by the Consortium of Valdobbiadene.
