Altaneve Z is a micro production wine that we hand-harvest on a 2000 year-old vineyard in Valdobbiadene with 60+ year old vines. This small plot can only produce 1,500 bottles per year, and it is worth all of the toil, because the terroir bestows an amazing minerality on the wine. Our oenologist has spent over a decade perfecting this wine, using a super- extended secondary fermentation for the wine, unlike any other Prosecco on the market. Sitting on the yeasts for such an extended period, the wine has the depth and complexity of a Champagne, yet maintains the typical crisp, freshness of a great Prosecco. With this winemaking technique, the perlage, balance, and elegant finesse of the wine are unique and spectacular. Altaneve Z’s delicate floral bouquet boasts hints of apricot and spring flowers and pairs perfectly with shellfish, white fish, creamy cheeses, melons, and citrus fruits. NOTES: The wine is sustainable, all-natural, vegan, gluten free, low sulfite and low calorie (~300 calories and 3g of sugar per bottle).
