Rive di Ogliano
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. Rive
From Ogliano, a hamlet of Conegliano. Two hundred and eighty metres, sixty-year-old vines, restrained dosage.
Ogliano looks south-east from the eastern end of the denomination, at 280 metres. It is the opposite slope from Valdobbiadene, and you can taste it: the same Glera, the same cellar, a wine that resembles none of the others in the house.
Long ageing — six to nine months on the lees plus three to six in bottle — and low residual sugar, between 8 and 11 grams.
