Valdo was started in 1926 by the Societa Anonima Vini Superiori and purchased by the Bolla Family in the 1940’s. Over 90 years of continuous innovation with an ongoing quest for quality and devotion to respecting the vineyards & wine-making traditions of the region, has helped to secure Valdo’s position as the one of the best selling Proseccos in Italy in the last 15 years.
WINEMAKING & VINTAGE NOTESThe vineyards use the traditional training method, known as “Metodo Spalliera”, where the stem can be as long as one meter and tied to a horizontal wire, assuring a high quality final product, and emphasizing the aromatic fruity features. Grapes are harvested during the month of September. The grapes are soft pressed and fermentation occurs at 64°F in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. These two significant steps yield a consistent quality wine, while maintaining the typical fruity bouquet with hints of golden delicious apples and white fruits. To obtain small and fine bubbles called “perlage” our expert oenologists make a selection of natural yeasts. Three months Charmat ageing, followed by at least two months in the bottle.
TASTING NOTESStraw-yellow color with fruity aromas, floral notes and green apple; lively and harmonious taste finishing with a light, pleasant sweetness. Excellent as an aperitif, or mixed into brunch and dinner cocktails. Also, pairs well with dishes such as pasta or chicken.
