Prosecco Superiore, Conegliano Valdobbiadene, Brut Millesimato DOCG 6 x 75cl

Sparkling white, Glera.

 

A pale straw-yellow sparkling wine with hints of green, compellingly luminous, with a near-endless bead of the tiniest bubbles. A delicate note of fresh-baked bread is the first to emerge, followed by apple, pear, and peach, alongside refined impressions of rose petals and acacia blossoms. In the mouth it is fresh and full-flavoured, with an appealing acidity on the finish. Eminently drinkable.

In the Veneto, amidst the Colli di Conegliano hillslopes, is the Ceschin family winery. Since 1965, Ettore Ceschin, the founder Gisueppes son, has directed the family wine operation with the same calm determination as his father. He gave the winery the name Bepin De Eto, in homage to his father, his family, and his history.

 

The vineyards of the area demand overwhelming dedication and attention, but the Guyot-trained vines enjoy fine exposure, a climate so special as to merit fully two denominations of monitored and limited origin, one ‘’Conegliano Valdobbiadene’’ Prosecco Superiore DOCG, the other ‘’Colli di Conegliano’’ DOCG, both regulated by individual production codes, both true guarantees of high quality. A quality that after harvest must be maintained in the cellar. Here Ettore, assisted by his three daughters, exercises the same relentless commitment in following every single step of the winemaking process.
