In an ancient land of emperors, philosophers, and ar sts, there was a noble wine called Pucino. Created in the foothills of the Italian Alps over 2000 years ago, Pucino was a favorite of Empress Livia Augusta. In the centuries that followed, Pucino was renamed “Prosecco” and has been enjoyed by Italian royalty and connoisseurs ever since. Altaneve presents American wine lovers the first opportunity to experience ultra premium Italian sparkling wine that, un l recently, has only been available in Italy.
Altaneve wines are created with genera ons of experience and a terroir unique to the steep foothills of the Italian Alps. With the current sparkling wine renaissance, Altaneve wines have emerged as modern classics for those with discrimina ng taste.
About Altaneve, the Brand Altaneve means “high snow” in Italian, and it alludes to the snow capped Dolomite Mountains that can be seen from atop our steep vineyards; these hills create a temperate microclimate that lends a special character to the grapes to make our wines unique. The Altaneve brand represents tradi on and inven on, through a modern and elegant spirit that incorporates centuries of heritage. Altaneve originates from Valdobbiadene, the Italian town reputed for producing the highest quality of sparkling wine. Located in the foothills of the Dolomites, Valdobbiadene’s steep terrain has produced grapes for winemaking for over 2000 years. The terroir and the oenology differen ate Altaneve from other wines. Altaneve offers Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. wines composed of 100% glera grapes, and an exclusive sparkling rosé wine composed of Pinot Nero and Glera grapes. Renowned Prosecco oenologists monitor the en re Altaneve wine making process to guarantee taste and composi on. The wine’s bouquet and persistent perlage are developed by an extended secondary fermenta on and fining process, rarely employed by wine producers. Elegant and approachable, Altaneve’s finely-balanced sugar residue, harmonizing fragrance, and silky finesse offer a depth and detail typified by only the finest sparkling wines.
