Le Colture
Valdobbiadene Dry Cruner
Valdobbiadene is located right in the heart of the lively and lush green hills of Prosecco. Le Colture is a winery and a cellar that has been in the hands of the same family since 1500. Cesare and Renato Ruggeri are the current custodians of this extraordinary heritage of experience. They hold large and small production secrets, a knowledge of the territory and its grapes, and an innate sensitivity for the health of the vines — not to mention they provide humor and laughs in the cellar.
The bottles that leave this vineyard, year after year, are the result of the efforts of a well assorted and close-knit family clan. Each member of the family is directly involved in every production phase—running the management of the vines, selecting the grapes, the various stages of the wine-making, all through to marketing and sales.
Tasting Notes
Slightly off-dry finish and delicate floral aromas balanced with a citrus, pear nose.
Cultivation
A Spumante wine that is obtained from an exclusive selection of Glera grapes grown uniquely in Valdobbiadene vineyards. The grapes are harvested from mid-September until mid-October.
Vinification
Soft pressing of the grapes, fermentation of the must in absence of skins at a controlled temperature. After removing the accumulated foam, the second fermentation takes place in closed steel vats with the Charmat method at a controlled temperature.
