Description
What kind of wine it is
Lessini Durello 733 Brut is a bright and elegant sparkling wine, crafted by Cantina di Montecchia. Made from Durella grapes, it displays a straw yellow colour with brilliant highlights.

The appreciation of expert critics, as evidenced by the excellent ratings from Luca Maroni and AIS, confirms the pleasantness and balance of this label.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Veneto, in the Lessini Durello area. Its name directly refers to the 733 metres of altitude of the vineyards from which it comes. This elevation, combined with the character of a volcanic soil, imparts notable tension and vibrant freshness to the taste. Production is based on the commitment of hundreds of winegrowers belonging to a cooperative founded in 1958, who cultivate the land while respecting a geological matrix that gives the wine its unmistakable character.
How it is produced
The winemaking process aims to preserve the aromatic integrity of the Durella grape. The base wine ferments and matures exclusively in steel tanks to enhance the purity of its aromas. The subsequent sparkling process takes place in an autoclave following the Charmat method, an ideal technique for achieving a fresh and immediate profile. The Brut dosage keeps the sip pleasantly dry and lively. Served at a temperature of 6-8 °C, it fully expresses its floral and citrus character, ensuring a dynamic and satisfying tasting experience.
History and Curiosities
