Valdo was founded in 1926 by the Societa Anonima Vini Superiori and purchased by the Bolla Family in 1938. 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 one of the leading and most trusted Italian wineries specialized in Prosecco and sparkling wines.
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 handpicked during the last week 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.
AGEINGThree months Charmat ageing, followed by one month in the bottle.
TASTING NOTESStraw yellow color, with a fine perlage, and crisp fruity palate are the distinguishing features of Valdo’s Brut Prosecco DOC. Well-balanced structure, matched with aromatic fruity fragrance make it the perfect pairing with starters and particulary with delicately flavoured dishes such as seafood. Excellent as aperitif due to its distinctive characteristic of being “easy to drink”, best served in a flute glass at a temperature of between 43-46°F to bring out its perfumes and flavours. Versatility and freshness are its strengths.
