Brut Nature Rive di Ogliano 2016
BIANCAVIGNA
Nice complexity expressed both on the nose and in the mouth. Especially
the articulation of the flavors that permits an enjoyable floral opening,
followed by a nice panorama of fruity sensations. Ranging from sweet
citrus to pulpy white fruit, as if it were peach. Flavorful details on the finish.
Top drink.

Nature Cartizze Metodo Classico 2016
SILVANO FOLLADOR
Prosecco Superiore from the classic method that does not lose its fruity
soul from the Glera, if anything it confers a drier profile that is never truly
rigid. Subtle aromas of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit. In the mouth,
a lovely citrus variety is added which, in duet with the salt, gives the wine
momentum and very good gifts of drinkability.

Dosaggio Zero Rive di Soligo 2016
BIANCAVIGNA
98% of Glera. On the nose, white fruit in prevalence. The complexity is
guaranteed by sensations of yeast, as well as refreshing notes of mint and
lime peel. In the mouth, white fruit dominates, but is never excessive. Great
salty feel at the end of the sip. This label favors gifts such as drinkability
and lightness.

Rive di Colbertaldo Asciutto 2017
ADAMI
Only Glera grapes for this wine of an expressive double nature. The nose
has more of a floral touch, with acacia blossoms and wisteria. White fruit is
also present in this phase but will be much more evident in the mouth. The
sip, in each phase, associates slenderness with depth.

Vecchie Viti 2016
RUGGERI
From very old plants of Glera and other white varieties typical of this area.
Dry take-off on the nose with green apple and citrus. In the mouth, the
slenderness of the sip is the most immediate and recognizable aspect –
merit of a nice mix of white fruit and sour citrus. Flavorful background
along the whole sip.

SORELLE BRONCA
On the nose, the sweetness of wisteria flowers alternates with the
freshness of green apple. In the mouth, the sequence of these sensations
remains, even if the fruity part increases in complexity. Also making
present are citrusy tones and tropical aspects. The flavor of the sip
guarantees a drink that is better than good.

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Brut Relio
BISOL 1542
Base of Glera, pale straw in color with rather brilliant green reflections.
Aromas in great part fruity, which range from the dryness of green apple to
softer notes – just as inviting – such as those that recall yellow raspberry.
Agile, dry, savory sip, mentholated on the finish.

Motus Vitae Rive di S. Pietro di Barbozza 2016
BORTOLOMIOL
The cuvée dedicated by the cantina to its founder, Giuliano Bortolomiol.
This super dry version does not render the profile of the Glera too thin.
Aromas perhaps too subtle but very refined of wildflowers, citrus, and
ginger. In the mouth, it has juice and dryness from citrus, with salt and
never excessive pulpiness from apple and pineapple.

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Dry Cartizze
ADAMI
Soft but elegant aromas that in the details explore white fruit. Coherent
mouth that opens on tonalities of white peach, followed by smooth and
almost juicy notes such as those that make one think of Kaiser pear. The
finish is flavorful and gives balance to the sip.

RUGGERI
The attack on the nose is pleasing on white fruit tones - the softness
of pear and silkiness of white peaches are nicely evident. In the mouth,
the fruity refrain plays in the same way, while the counter melody is
effectuated by a flavorful aspect that not only accompanies but also
produces notable high notes along the sip.

BISOL 1542
“Crede” indicates the dialect name of clay, the rock on which the plants are
grown – prevalently Glera – that make up this label. Intense aromas that
alternate white fruit, including tropical varieties with delicate sensations
of wildflowers. Juicy, but also pulpy mouth from fruit – all pear and rennet
apple.

Particella 68
SORELLE BRONCA
The number 68 refers to the land registry parcel belonging to the winery
in the heart of the Colbertaldo area. Ninety percent Glera completed by
native varieties like Perera and Bianchetta. White fruit and lime blossom
on the nose. In the mouth, this duality is severed and the floral aspect is
substituted by tones of kiwi and salt.

LA TORDERA
Prosecco Superiore from the classic method that does not lose its fruity
soul from the Glera, if anything it confers a drier profile that is never truly

Cuvée Solicum
COLLI SOLIGO
Only Glera for this cuvée that highlights a nose that while it may not
exceed in complexity, is capable of a panorama of realistic, rich perfumes in
the glass. The apple and pear that recur in the tasting phase are truer than
true. The minerality, also well-noticeable, confers the gift of agility to the
sip.

Extra Dry Rive di Ogliano 2017
MASOTTINA
The sweet part that characterizes the perfume is not derived from white
fruit, but instead from citrus. For this reason, the bouquet maintains a good
elegance that varies particularly between candied orange peel and fresh
citron rind. In the mouth, the citrusy part is no less and is flanked by notes
of quince.

Primo Rive di Col S.Martino 2017
ANDREOLA
The recipe is simple: only Glera and no sugar. Already at the nose,
the ensemble makes it clear that this is a Prosecco Superiore without
compromises and with dry notes of citrus and green apple. In the mouth,
the citrusy part demonstrates a side of the peel that gives a light, but
pleasing, sour note. Flavorful finish.

BORTOLOMIOL
Notwithstanding the more than 25 gr/liter of sugar, the imprint of this
wine lands on a fruity smoothness that never veers toward real sweetness
or sugariness. Typical aromas of pear and apple, with soft touches of
white melon. In the mouth, the soft part has an almost tropical mix next
to the sensations of the usual tonalities of white-fleshed fruit. Lightly
mentholated finish.

Santo Stefano Gerardo 2017
LE COLTURE
Gerardo, a historical person of the cantina, is celebrated by this label. On
the nose, it takes off with white-fleshed fruit rendered richer from notes
of yeast and hazelnut. In the mouth, a subtle entrance that lengthens on
tonalities of apple, fresh aromatic herbs and green almond. A slight flavor
striation along the whole sip.

Rive di Manzana 2017
MANI SAGGE
If the aromas are classic, well-articulated, and for the certain verses
natural, the sip changes register. In the mouth, along with the natural
flavors of white fruit, above all pear, one also encounters those flavorful
details that recall toasted hazelnut and spices. Nothing however,
transfigures the sip, thanks to a nice flavor.

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Brut
GREGOLETTO
The green part that recalls wild flowers and mint on the nose lightly
covers the white fruit that in the mouth becomes the protagonist. The sip
takes off on dry and a bit sour tones from granny smith apple, which then
melts and softens on notes of pear and white melon.
