Valbona, on the other hand, was shaped in ancient times by the retreat of glaciers and later by the work of the Scorzai stream. Digging in the porphyritic rock (volcanic origin), sandy soils with a dark brown color, rich in skeleton, have originated.

Tasting notes
The color is lovely light pink with hints of copper. The perlage is really fine as the bubbles bead through the wine forming a persistent crown. The bouquet offers red fruit fragrances and you may detect hints of marasca cherries and a note of raspberry, as the Pinot Noir shines brightly in this spumante. The Chardonnay brings its elements to the party with notes of toasted almonds, hazelnuts and an underlying hay-like character.
Production notes
The fermentation of the base takes place in small oak barrels, in particular Pinot Noir is placed in drums previously used to age our “Divino” distillate. The base wines remain 6 months on their own yeast, with “the effect of the hourglass” weekly the wine must be remixed. In spring it is passed to the refermentation in the bottle. Disgorgement takes place at no less than 18/24 months on yeasts.
