Description
What kind of wine it is
Gabe Conegliano Valdobbiadene Rive di San Michele Fior di Sale Brut is a sparkling wine made from Glera grapes, a pure expression of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore region. It displays a straw yellow colour, enlivened by a fine and creamy perlage. On the nose, it releases floral aromas of rose and acacia, enriched by distinct notes of green apple, peach and citrus. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, with a pleasantly savoury finish featuring saline hints. Its pronounced minerality makes it perfect for pairing with sushi, seafood starters and fresh cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from San Michele di Feletto, in the heart of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, an area recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The vineyards, situated between 100 and 150 metres above sea level, benefit from a south and south-west exposure that ensures optimal ripening. The soil, of calcareous-clay origin and rich in yellow-blue marls, gives the wine a distinct mineral character. The double arched cane training system allows Gabe to achieve balanced yields, enhancing the unique characteristics of this specific terroir.
How it is produced
Harvesting takes place at the end of September, followed by gentle pressing. After clarification of the must by static decantation, primary fermentation begins at a controlled temperature (18-19 °C). The prise de mousse follows the Charmat Method, with a refermentation in large tanks for a period of thirty to forty days. This is followed by maturation on the fine lees for at least three months. This process defines the structure and creaminess of the sip, preserving the integrity of the grape variety's typical aromas.
