Animae Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Senza Solfiti

the winery bases its deepest belief on respect for nature and the desire to offer a product that expresses the utmost purity of the wine. It was a real challenge: sulphites in wines are, firstly, partly self-produced during the fermentation process by the yeasts that transform must into wine. For sparkling wines there is a second fermentation needed to develop the sparkle (Charmat method) which turns them from still wines into sparkling wines. Again we have sulphite production. To overcome this, the winery identified a yeast strain with low self-production of sulphur dioxide. Another aspect is that vinification takes place in total absence of oxygen to avoid oxidative phenomena in the sparkling wine. Animae Valdobbiadene Prosecco expresses the soul of Prosecco Superiore DOCG, the aromas are primary, the scents of the grapes intact and the full intensity of a bouquet that goes straight from the vineyard to the glass. Its low sugar content makes it very dry, almost a Pas Dosé, but with properties similar to a long Charmat. The Prosecco Superiore DOCG "Animae" is the first sulphite-free Prosecco from Conegliano Valdobbiadene made from organic farming. Animae Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Senza Solfiti is produced with great care: it starts with soft pressing, the must is left to settle for 12 hours, followed by fermentation at 16°C, without the addition of sulphites. Vinification and sparkling process take place in total absence of oxygen. Sparkling process in autoclave using the long Charmat method, without added sulphites, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore just like it used to be! Â
