The Glera grape comes from Veneto, one of Italy’s most renowned regions for high-quality sparkling wines. The single-varietal cuvée emphasizes the typical character of the grape variety: clear fruit, lively flow on the palate, and fine perlage. Corte delle Calli Grand Cuvée Bianco Spumante Extra Dry - Serena Wines embodies the modern, precise style of Venetian sparkling wine craftsmanship and brings its origin impressively into the glass.

Production of Corte delle Calli Grand Cuvée Bianco Spumante Extra Dry - Serena Wines

The grapes for this Spumante come from selected sites in Veneto. The climate offers warm, sunny days and cooler nights, which give the Glera vine aromatic intensity and freshness. The soils are a mix of limestone, clay, and gravelly components that provide good drainage and balanced supply for the vines. The vines yield grapes with fine acidity and clear fruit, ideal for producing an elegant Spumante.

The harvest is carried out carefully and timed so that the grapes combine aromatic ripeness with lively acidity. After arrival at the winery, the grapes are gently pressed to obtain only the finest must. The first fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks so that the fresh fruit aromas of the Glera grape are clearly worked out.

For the second fermentation, Serena Wines uses the Charmat method in pressure tanks. This method preserves the natural fruit of the grape variety and ensures a fine, even perlage. The base wine matures on the lees in the tank, during which the delicate brioche and yeast-pastry notes develop. Gentle filtration then follows before the Spumante is bottled under pressure so that the freshness and sparkle fully come into their own in the glass.

The style of the Serena Wines estate is characterized by precision, clarity, and a modern interpretation of classic Venetian tradition. Vinification aims for a crystal-clear aroma profile, an elegant texture, and an extra dry character that is convincing both as an aperitif and as a companion to food. Every stage of production, from harvest to bottling, is marked by the utmost care and consistent focus on quality.
