Bisol Winery – Veneto, Italy
Colmei Valdobbiadene
“Colmei” is a dialect term referring to the summits of the hills best suited to the cultivation of these vines. The Bisol family owns such marvellous hills in the extreme north of the province of Treviso close to the foothills of the Alps. These vineyards yield Glera grapes that are full in flavour and rich in malic acid.
Cuvée Extra dry
This sparkling wine is exposed to the south, having a strong presence of silt which, together with a limited yield per hectare, allows for the production of a full bodied wine with intense flavour and aromatic qualities.
Cuvée Rosé Brut
The rose is a refreshing glass of bubbles with which a brief maceration gives the wine a floral yet fruity characteristic; the long and slow fermentation ensures the extreme delicacy, elegance and duration in the mouth.
