Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rive di Carpesica Dry

It is a sparkling wine that was created to rediscover unusual combinations and best accompany some of the most traditional dishes of Venetian cuisine, where the important sweet / salty / acid mix must match in the accompanying wine. Disgorgement occurs after eighteen months of resting on the yeasts and is followed by aging in the cellar for at least another six months. This gives LEI subtle complexity tones that combine with the most typical aromatic characteristics. The scent is reminiscent of flowers such as white bergamot, wisteria and freesia with notes of golden apple and freshly peeled hazelnuts with hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate it is clean and persistent with an excellent correspondence to the scent.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME A tribute to the women world.

VINEYARD The glera grapes are cultivated in Carpesica area, in limestone-clay soils rich in morainic deposits from the ancient Piave glacier that descended from the Fadalto saddle between Mount Pizzoc and Mount Visentin. The vineyards, facing south-southwest at an average elevation of 180 metres, are planted to an average density of 4,200 vines per hectare and are trained to a mix of Sylvoz and Cappuccina. Harvest generally occurs in the second half of September and the vineyard yield averages 70 hl/ha. The weather is mild, with cold winters and summers that are warm, but never muggy, and with consistent breezes. The day-night temperature differentials are significant, particularly in the summer.

VINIFICATION Clusters are de-stemmed and the berries gently pressed, the must is gravity settled then fermented at 18-20°C. The wine matures sur lie, then the wine re-ferments in the bottle over 18 months. After disgorging it is given a further 6 months’ ageing before release.

GLASS AND SERVICE Enjoy at 6-8°C in a large Prosecco crystal glass. Avoid using a flute, which does not allow full expression of the wine’s bouquet.
