The new sparkling wine produced with the “sur lie” method is now available on the market in a limited edition.
After the preview at Vinitaly, Canevel Spumanti, a château in Valdobbiadene part of the Masi Group, is launching San Biagio Brut Nature Valdobbiadene DOCG on the market.
San Biagio is obtained from pure Glera grapes from the hillside vineyards of Valdobbiadene and made with the “s ur lie” method, which expresses the essence of the oenological heritage and winemaking tradition of the area: the Prosecco known as “sui lieviti” or “col fondo” is in fact the oldest sparkling wine produced in Valdobbiadene.
Federico Girotto , President and CEO of Canevel Spumanti , stated: “San Biagio, with its ancient and contemporary production method, reaffirms Canevel’s anchoring to the Valdobbiadene area. In recent years, in addition to having codified and enhanced our company sparkling wine production protocol ‘Setàge’, we have undertaken a path of distribution development in Italy and international markets, consolidating the premium positioning of our brand and reaching a presence in 40 countries, with an extremely versatile range of sparkling wines. San Biagio therefore represents a ‘tribute to the origins’, but made by today’s Canevel, fully immersed in contemporaneity and oriented towards the future”.
The connection with the roots is also evident in the name, which recalls the homonymous hill of Valdobbiadene where the winery is located.
The second fermentation in the bottle gives San Biagio, available from after the summer in a limited edition, a unique personality, characterized by a fine and persistent perlage , a soft and complex taste, a long and savoury finish and a visible, savourable and unmistakable presence of non-disgorged yeasts. Characterised by a pale yellow colour with greenish reflections and, on the nose, by delicate aromas of vine flowers, apple, citrus fruits, San Biagio is the ideal aperitif, served fresh with traditional cicchetti. It accompanies tasty salads, vegetarian first courses, fish crudités , cod or sardines in saor .
