Montelvini Tullia Prosecco NV

Profile & Story

With a winemaking history dating back to 1881, Montelvini is a 5th generation family-owned winery, situated between Asolo and Treviso in the heart of the Veneto. This area is known as "Zuitere", meaning "land of owls". The Serena family fittingly chose an owl for their winery's logo, symbolic of the knowledge to select the best grapes their land can offer and the wisdom of respecting nature and its rhythms. Technical detail (importer tech data): 100% Glera from Treviso; 40 hectares planted 1995-2000; dry farmed with sustainable vineyard practices and a focus on biodiversity; loamy clay soils with limestone substrates; moderate continental climate with large diurnal swings into harvest that preserve freshness and acidity. The grapes are gently pressed and the must is cold settled; primary fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts; after resting on its lees for three months the wine is filtered and put into an autoclave for secondary fermentation. Winemaker Stefano Nandi. 11% ABV, 110 mg/L total SO2.
