Production area
Val Tidone: gentle slope vineyard facing the east; limestone/marly soils.
Vine variety
85% Marsanne originating from the French region of the same name in the northern Rhône, introduced in Piacenza in the Napoleonic age; 15% Chardonnay (international variety), with a density of 5000 stocks per hectare.
Grape harvest
Only when optimal maturation is reached. The bunches are collected manually, accurately selected and placed in small wooden boxes, ensuring high quality standards.
Yield
The production is limited to 40/50 hl per hectare with appropriate agronomic interventions and, if necessary, a manual thinning of the bunches.
Winemaking
Soft pressing of whole grapes after short maceration in the press and first fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16-18° C. At a later time, the product is poured in truncated cone vats.
Colour
Pale straw yellow.
Aroma
Piacevole l’apertura olfattiva di frutta leggermente immatura, che ricorda l’ananas, la mela gialla e la pera estiva, con note floreali (acacia/caprifoglio) che si apre in seguito con una complessità di note di piccoli frutti (ribes rosso e uva spina), speziate (pepe rosa e bianco) e delicatamente citrine con leggero sentore di foglia di lime.
Flavour
Good structure and richness on the palate, enhanced by a pleasant acid sensation; long and persistent finish, characterised by a perfect balance between good sapidity and gentle smoothness. Aftertaste with an initial return of fruity/citron/honey notes of white and yellow flowers and slight hints of spice. Beautifully combined with fish, it can also accompany delicate white meat and a fine selection of soft cheeses.

Brut Rosé
The Brut Rosé sparkling wine originates from varieties of Pinot Noir entirely selected in France. Ideal for the aperitif, Brut Rosé can pleasantly accompany the whole meal.
Extra Brut
The blending of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties results in our Extra Brut, a sparkling wine with an excellent consistency and an appealing acidity well balanced with the structure. It is the perfect choice for your aperitifs, but it can be savoured during the whole meal and delightfully combined with cold cuts, especially with mortadella.
Brut 412
Brut 412 is a sparkling wine born from the combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Its good structure and well-balanced acidity create a long and sweet aftertaste. We recommend it with appetisers and snacks, but also with fish specialities and finger food.
Rivabriosa
Rivabriosa originates from the local Ortrugo variety. Bright straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections, it is savoury and pleasant with a tingling freshness on the tongue. Its elegant effervescence is very well matched with DOP cured meats and combines perfectly with butter and sage ravioli.
Gandinaia
The prevalence of Syrah combined with typical local varieties gives life to a ruby red coloured wine with a floral and fruity flavour. With an excellent well-balanced structure, Gandinaia matches perfectly with first courses of the Emilian cuisine, game, red meat and aged cheese.
