Crede Prosecco, Valdobbiadene Superiore Brut D.O.C.G. 2019

- 90 points -

Crede is local dialect for the clay-laden soils in the municipality of Valdobbiadene. The ancient slopes were once under the sea before inching back up over time into the hilly vineyards of Prosecco Superiore DOCG. The clay plays a role in avoiding the effects of drought and preserving acidity. Crede is hand-harvested from 250 meters altitude, is 85 percent glera, and comes with bright yellow tones. The nose is reminiscent of wildflowers and wet stones. The attack is fresh and clean with minimal residual sugar, adding some weight and fullness without a big sugary effect. Apples and pears and minerality round out a crisp, clean finish. Perfect for the patio.
