Vinification of Prosecco Brut DOC from Tenuta Sant'Anna

The Glera grapes for this sparkling wine come from carefully tended vineyards in Veneto. The vines grow in the protected Prosecco DOC appellation. The climate here is mild, with warm days and cool nights. This temperature range allows the grapes to ripen slowly and preserves the valuable acidity. The soils are composed of a mixture of clay, sand, and gravel. This structure provides the vines with a firm hold and contributes to a fine minerality in the wine.

Work in the vineyard follows a clear goal: ripe, aromatic grapes with fresh acidity. Pruning is carried out carefully to control the leaf canopy and ensure good ventilation of the grapes. This keeps the grapes dry and allows them to fully develop their aromas. Harvest usually takes place in the early morning hours so the berries stay cool and their delicate aromas are preserved. The grapes are often picked in several passes to harvest only optimally ripe fruit.

After harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery, where gentle pressing takes place. The aim is a clear, pure must free of bitter substances. The must is cooled and clarified. The first fermentation then starts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, preserving the floral and fruity aromas of acacia, apple, and subtle citrus notes.

The second fermentation, which creates the sparkle, takes place according to the Charmat method in pressurized tanks. Selected yeast and a small amount of sugar are added to the base wine. Under pressure, the second fermentation starts, and the carbon dioxide produced becomes finely integrated into the wine. The length of this phase is chosen so that an elegant, fine perlage can develop. At the same time, the brioche notes gain depth as the wine spends time on the yeast.

After the second fermentation is complete, the wine is filtered and adjusted to the desired pressure. The dosage is calibrated so that the wine falls into the brut category. This keeps the style clearly dry, with only a little residual sugar. This emphasizes the freshness and gives the wine a straightforward, modern expression. Before bottling, the cellar master checks each batch to ensure consistent quality. As a result, every bottle of Prosecco Brut DOC - Tenuta Sant'Anna reflects the estate’s typical style.
