Production of Ca' Di Prata Spumante Blanc de Blancs Extra Dry - Latentia Winery

The grapes for the Ca' Di Prata Spumante Blanc de Blancs Extra Dry - Latentia Winery come from selected sites in Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy. The climate here is pleasantly moderate, shaped by the proximity of the Adriatic and the protection of the Alps. Warm days encourage ripening, while cooler nights preserve the aromas. The soils, with sandy, partly calcareous and gravelly layers, lend the wines clarity, minerality, and finesse.

The grapes are harvested carefully so that they reach the winery as fresh and aromatic as possible. The fruit is transported promptly for processing to preserve the delicate primary aromas in the must without alteration. The white grapes are then gently pressed, with only the finest portion of the must used for this Spumante.

The first fermentation takes place under temperature-controlled conditions in stainless-steel tanks. Cool fermentation keeps the fruity and floral aroma profile especially clear and precise. The second fermentation then begins in a pressurized tank using the Charmat method, which is particularly suited to lively, fruit-driven sparkling wines. During this phase, the fine bubbles develop and decisively shape the wine’s character. A careful period of aging on the fine lees lends additional creaminess and subtle notes of brioche and yeast pastry.

The style of Latentia Winery appears especially modern and linear here. The focus is on clarity, freshness, and precise fruit, without overwhelming the wine. The bottle design, styled as a classic sparkling-wine bottle, underscores its elegant presentation. A reliable sparkling-wine cork keeps the fine carbonation safely in the bottle and ensures an impressive moment when opened.
